Shamima Begum Breaks Silence from Syrian Camp: ‘My World Fell Apart’
Begum Spotted in al-Roj Camp Near Iraq Border
Shamima Begum has resurfaced in the notorious al-Roj camp in Syria, near the Iraqi border. She’s living alongside Kimberly Polman, a US/Canadian ISIS recruit. The British-born terror bride revealed how losing her UK citizenship shattered her.
Begum Slams Government for How Citizenship Was Stripped
Begum said, “When my citizenship got rejected, I felt like my whole world fell apart right in front of me.” Shockingly, she wasn’t informed by any official but heard the news first from journalists.
Fearful and Isolated in the Camp
Despite expecting trouble, Begum thought she’d be treated differently since she claimed to have done “nothing wrong” before travelling overseas. Now, vulnerable and recently given birth, she’s terrified.
“I was hearing all these stories about women threatening other women, folk uncovering their faces or speaking to men or doing interviews. I was just afraid for my life.”
Begum’s camp revelations deepen the drama surrounding former jihadi brides imprisoned in Syria.
