A British teenager who fled the UK to join ISIS in 2015 is set to be stripped of her UK citizenship after begging to return home.

19-year old Shamima Begum gave birth in a refugee camp in Syria on Sunday, and has since made international headlines after wishing to return home and voicing her support of Islamist violence.

Lawyer Mohammed Akunjee said in a statement on Twitter that her family were "very disappointed with the Home Office's intention to have an order made depriving Shamima of her citizenship."
