Angus McCullough KC has acted for the 24-year-old as she attempts to win back her British citizenship, which was stripped when she fled to join ISIS aged 15 in 2015.
The barrister who represented ISIS bride Shamima Begum before secret anti-terror hearings has quit, accusing ministers of 'neglecting' the process.
But Mr McCollough said the 'unfairness' of secret hearings was 'being aggravated by sustained neglect of the special advocate system'. The KC criticised ministers for not responding to an independent review of the system by Sir Duncan Ouseley, a retired High Court judge. Shamima Begum was a London schoolgirl until Scotland Yard raised concerns she and two of her fellow pupils had travelled to Syria in February 2015.
Just ten days after arriving in the city of Raqqa, Ms Begum, who is of Bangladeshi heritage, was married to a Dutchman named Yago Riedijk, who had converted to Islam. She was eventually found nine months pregnant in a refugee camp in Al-Hawl in February 2019 by a Times journalist. In the same month, she was stripped of her British citizenship after announcing her desire to return to the UK with her then unborn third child.Since then, the former IS bride has been embroiled in a battle with the British legal system - she lost her latest legal challenge over the decision to deprive her of her British citizenship on Wednesday.Sajid Javid said, although he would never leave an individual stateless, his priority was the 'safety and security' of the UK.
