And they penned an open letter to PM Theresa May calling for the permanent exile of IS “enemies of the state” and cheerleaders like Begum.

Their fury was sparked by Begum, 19, and a dozen more UK-born terror brides begging to come home from camps after IS's collapse.

Forces mums Carol Valentine, Caroline Jane Munday-Baker, Karen Thornton, Monica Kershaw, Anne Hetherington, Caroline Whitaker, Julie Hall, Fran Chandler, Jeanie Skeet and Hazel Hunt wrote: “As mums whose sons died trying to protect their country, we fully support treason laws.

“This would honour our sons . . . IS members and supporters like Shamima Begum should never be allowed back to trample on our sons’ graves.”


SHAMIMA'S DAD BACKS UK

SHAMIMA Begum’s dad Ahmed Ali, 60, said he "does not have a problem" with the Government's stance.

Ali, who lives in Bangladesh, said: “If she admitted she made a mistake then I’d feel sorry for her but she does not accept her wrong."
