Two more Daesh brides stripped of UK citizenship

Britain has revoked citizenship from two more women who joined the Daesh group in Syria, a newspaper reported on Sunday, raising questions about the fate of their children.

The revelation follows a row over a similar decision regarding London teenager Shamima Begum, whose newborn baby died in a Syrian refugee camp last week.

Reema Iqbal, 30, and her sister Zara, 28, let east London for Syria in 2013, and between them now have five boys under the age of eight, The Sunday Times newspaper said.

Citing legal sources, the paper said they had been stripped of their British citizenship.

The pair, who are of Pakistani heritage, reportedly married into a terror cell linked to the murder of western hostages.

The British interior ministry said it does not comment on individual cases.

A spokesman said: “Any decisions to deprive individuals of their citizenship are based on all available evidence and not taken lightly.”

Begum, who married a Dutch Daesh fighter, was located by journalists in a refugee camp ater fleeing fighting between the terror group and Us-backed forces.

She had asked to return to Britain with her baby, ater her two other children died under Daesh rule.

British Home Secretary Sajid Javid faced criticism on Saturday ater the death of the UK teenager’s baby in a Syrian camp.

Javid revoked Begum’s passport, saying Begum hadn’t shown any remorse. The teen had told newspaper reporters she didn’t have a problem with Daesh actions, including the beheading of captives.

Begum’s family said the boy appeared to be in good health when he was born on Feb. 7. No clear cause of death has yet been given, but reports suggested he was having respiratory problems.

Fellow Conservative Party lawmaker Phillip Lee said on Saturday he was “deeply concerned” by Javid’s handling of the case, suggesting he had taken a hard line in order to please populists.
