INJUSTICE?

When services that we pay to protect us,
COMPLETELY FAIL!

Shamima Begum: Was Only 15 Years Of Age When She Joined ISIS.
She Was Groomed, And Much Too Young To Be Blamed.

Where do you stand on the fate of Shamima Begum?

CONTROVERSIAL DECISION!

Ms Patel:
Home Secretary Priti Patel announced that the Islamic State bride Shamima Begum would never be allowed to return to the UK.
Shamima Begum had joined the Isis terror group with two young school friends in 2015, she has since begged to be allowed back into Britain, at least for therapy.
This follows after her three children dying there, due to the terrible conditions of Syria.
However, Ms Patel stated that there was 'no way she could ever return', and she had felt that it was 'quite reassuring' to see the 19-year-old still in the war-torn country.

An opinion its felt that most humane people would most definitely disagree with?

Shamima had married Dutch fighter Yago Riedijk of whom had joined the ISIS group.And this was when she herself was only 15 years old.
She had three children with him during her three years living with the terror group.
Yago Riedijk had told a reporter for Sky News that he had tried to escape the Islamic State.

Discussing someone that joined a terrorist group is extremely controversial.
However, what cannot be ignored here is the fact that this is a very young and damaged life that's being discussed.
If the truth be known, many people fail to mature until they are well into their 30's.
Shamima Begum was just 15 years old, and that is not an age of great responsibility, or even a bare minimum of wisdom?

Shamima Begum left the UK to marry Dutch Isis fighter Yago Riedijk.
She was just 15 years old when she went there with her two young friends.

Yago Riedijk.

JUST A CHILD!

Horror and Fear:
If you were to study Shamima Begums life in greater detail, then it would cast doubt as to whether she has ever received any unbiased justice at all.
On the one hand we have people stating that she had no problem with seeing beheaded bodies.
And that she had also agreed with the bombing of others, based on a somewhat misguided revenge.
But on the other hand, we need to consider that this was a young girl aged fifteen, and possibly threatened by the ISIS group to concur with their opinions.

She had left to marry a Dutch fighter of whom had also made the tragic mistake of joining the ISIS group, and later even he had tried to escape from them.
He was older than Shamima, so even he was possibly duped by the promise of a better life.
She is now 21 years old, and 'ALLEGEDLY' showing no signs of remorse whatsoever, or even the slightest sympathy for the victims.
However, 'Allegedly', because, there are many other reports that state that she has very much regretted ever joining the group.

So which reports are true?

Ask yourself a question:
What do many little girls play with as a child? Could it be dolls and prams? And is there a possible link to the natural instinct to becoming a mother?
Could her real crime simply be that she was just a child inside, and she had failed to resist the urge to grow up quickly.
Therefore by marrying and having children, it would make her an overnight grown up? Of course not, but she was much too young to understand that concept.

It's also worth remembering that she would have been groomed online, and they would have shown her many false images of homes and family life with the ISIS group.

We have all seen their propaganda pictures and videos, with ISIS fighters playing happily with dogs, and enjoying the sun on a beach?
Then once she arrived to be totally terrified to her very soul of what she had witnessed there.
Its also worth remembering how Hitler once convinced people that they were going to a better life, and then they too were all murdered in cold blood instead?

Shamima had experienced losing both of her best friends, and then she went on to lose her three babies, (Devastating).
Do we conveniently ignore this, and simply put aside just how crushing that traumatic experience would have been for such a young mind?
So is it therefore just possible that she had suffered so much loss, that her misguided pride had stopped her from admitting when she was in the wrong?
That is actually a typical reaction that you could expect from someone inexperienced and damaged by the passing of their friends and family.

In truth we all know that, 'Pride Comes Before A Fall'...

Shamima receives the letter that revokes her British citizenship.

Too Young:
Well at 15 years old, the difference between right and wrong has very blurred lines.
Any young child wants excitement, but unfortunately they fail to sense all the dangers involved.
Experience of life is a very limited commodity at just 15 years old, and its often shaded by immature beliefs that they can change the world.

The terrible teens, is a phrase often associated with youth, Possibly most people can remember experiencing wild and crazy decisions that they made?
I CAN..!

Most childhoods are full of mistakes and misguided beliefs, so it would only be fair to consider if Shamima was any different?
In fact many people continue to make mistakes way past the age that she is now ... To err is to be human?

Families in camps.

SILENCED BY FEAR!

Radicals:
Even Yago Riedijk came to his senses, and tried to escape from ISIS.
Considering how dangerous they were, its no wonder people became afraid of any consequences.
Sadly they had all fully underestimated the cruelty of these radical groups that were attempting to make changes to peaceful society's.
Both of her friends had died in those conflicts, so she had to tolerate the conditions, or give up, and even possibly die.

These young girls were all groomed, and at, and around that time, there were plenty of people supporting what was happening out there.
The debate on Begum, was so intense with many conflicting opinions.
Some were stating that she should be given a fair trial, and then possibly locked up to be rehabilitated here in the UK.
Others were saying that she is more dangerous where she is now, than she would be if she was here in Britain locked away.

Personally, I feel the only real danger is for Shamima herself, and she needs rescuing, not abandoning!

ISIS prisoners.

Children:
There were two other considerations that were never considered, or even discussed at all.
The first of which is that you can never underestimate the mental damage that a woman can possibly suffer when losing a child.
Begum had lost 'three' of them, and not undermining the fact that she had also lost both of her friends, it was no wonder that she went a little cold.
Another question to ask is, how do we know that whilst she is living in this dangerous camp, she is not still being pressurised by local influence?

Without bringing her to the UK where she would feel safe, we will never know.
And when it comes down to true justice, then it beggars the question as to whether she was ever given any?
Whilst it would be easier to dismiss her on the grounds that she had shown very little empathy, It would be much more diplomatic to question it for truth?

War-torn country.

Psychology:
Apart from joining the terror group, what did she actually do wrong?
And the only answer that can be found, is that she had simply just joined the ISIS group.
One fact remains and that is, she is still very young, and she is possibly psychologically damaged by the traumatic experiences that she has undergone.
Never forget that the human mind quite often defends itself in many conflicting ways.

She may have shut out the truth to avoid the pain of realising what she has lost, and simply can't face it?
The camp she lives in has had eight children die under the age of five.
People are still dying there, so do we look the other way and just allow her to simply suffer and die?
Or do we rise above the feelings of revenge and try to save her life, by giving her back some hope?

She could be incarcerated into a hospital whilst being evaluated, and then given the treatment that she possibly requires?

How it was.

100% GROOMED!

Life Changes:
Given that she is just 21 years old now, she has time to change, and before someone quotes that a 'leopard never changes its spots'.
It would be wiser to consider that the spots on a leopard get bigger as they grow, then fade as they get older?
Life is precious, and people can change. Justice is said to be blind ... But those that deliver it, should never be so!
We are a democratic society, and in the interests of justice, maybe this calls for people to vote on such a delicate matter?

One more aspect of all this information and how it relates to someone so young.
How many of you out there have ever fell in love on the Internet, even though you have never even met that person?
Because sometimes grooming can be involved with trapping someones feelings.
The fact that she was only 15 years old, leaves the thought, that this could possibly be such a case?

Lives Matter:
All the above contains questions.
But as this site is all about injustice, the matter should still be further investigated.
A life is a life, no matter how much it has faltered..?
People can change, but only by others sharing their knowledge and experience with them.

Shamima Begum ruling.

TRAGEDY AND REGRET!

Decisions:
Please read this before you make up your mind....
Shamima Begum was encouraged to write letters to her younger self about her regrets during therapy sessions with other Western women.
In a therapy group Begum nervously introduced herself, beginning with, 'Okay, um... My name's Shamima. I'm from the UK, and I'm 19 years old'.

She continued to say that she had wanted to kill herself after her daughter died in the camp.
Because When her daughter died she felt that it was too hard to continue, and she felt so alone.
As if her entire world had fell apart right in front of her, and she couldn't do a single thing about it.

Shamima Begum before.

These are her own words:
'I felt like it was my fault for not getting my children out sooner'.
'When my daughter died at that moment I just wanted to kill myself. I felt like I couldn't even get up to run any more when there were bombings'.
'The only thing keeping me alive was my baby I was pregnant with. I felt like I had to do him right by getting him out and giving him a normal life'.

Begum has also pleaded with people in the UK to keep an open mind about her, as she fights to return.
She continued...
'I would say to the people in the UK to give me a second chance, because I was still very young when I left'.
'I would ask that they put aside everything they've heard about me, and just have an open mind about why I left, and who I am now as a person'.

Shamima Begum now.

Understanding:
All the above was written before seeing her recent words.
So it proves that people can always change with new experiences.
And as they do, they will gain empathy, and even more understanding not previously known to the very young.
It's all very easy to say leave her to her fate, but we are not the terrorists, we appreciate that all life is precious?

If she was your daughter, what would you want for her?

IN CONCLUSION!

Human Rights:
The following is from the human rights group (Liberty).
They state that the ruling on Shamima Begum sets an extremely dangerous precedent.
Rosie Brighouse, a lawyer for Liberty states...

The right to a fair trial is not something democratic governments should be taking away on a whim, and neither is someones British citizenship!
Hundreds of other people have been returned to the UK by the Security Services, so why not Shamima Begum?
Abandoning her in this legal black hole, which has similar conditions to Guantanamo Bay.

This ruling is completely out of step with all British values that involve the interests of justice and security.
She is a young woman that has gone through hell and back, with the loss of three children and both of her friends.
A question arises from all this ... Has Britain lost all its compassion in order to support political correctness?
If no one can see the connection, its that they have taken away free speech, and now we are about to lose all diplomacy and human rights.

If you read very carefully what has been studied in great detail, you can clearly see that Shamima Begum is very sorry for what she did.
She was groomed, and tricked into imagining visions of a married life, like the ones that ISIS had used to tempt people away.
Compassion for a child that has lost so much, isn't an unfair request of our government, is it?
She is not a terrorist, she's a victim of injustice. And now, by both sides!

Foolish Words:
Shamima's biggest crime was stating that it didn't bother her about the beheading of victims.
However, can you imagine what they would have done to her if she had said anything else?
She had simply been groomed, (tricked), and she was very young (15), and possibly terrified.
There was very little choice for her, she had to ignore and suppress what was happening there, or she could have been next?

From her foolish words, the Home Secretary at that time (Sajid Javid) revoked her British passport, stating that Begum had never shown any remorse?
He was justifiably criticised for this, because in March 2019 Begums baby son that was less than 3 weeks old, died of pneumonia.
Her two previous children had already died from malnutrition and disease, which should have been highly considered at the time.
Is it possible that if he'd immediately brought her back to the UK, her child may have possibly survived?

I'm not apportioning blame here, but I would ask a question..?
Do you trust MPs, and do they always tell the truth?

Lost Friends:
She has also lost her two best friends.
And at some point the reality of what really happened out there will hit her really hard.
She may not be the ideal of some, but there are people already living here with much worse attitudes than hers.
Less reported was the fact that she had once stated, she was more than happy to be put into a detention centre, as long as her baby was safe.

And she had further stated that she now hated the terror group after the death of her three babies, and that her mental health was now suffering.
Remember, at the time that her daughter died, she had considered committing suicide?
These days she spends most of her time in the Syrian camp watching GMB, and listening to Shakira.
And did you know that she doesn't even speak Arabic?

Pressure:
When questioned she said, 'I would rather be in a British jail so that I could access education, and get psychiatric help'.
She continued, 'Mentally I am in a really bad way. I need therapy to deal with my grief. It is so hard. I have lost all my children'.
Where within all these words exists a woman that has shown no remorse?
Are we really going to allow her to rot in a possibly diseased filled camp in Syria?

Can she never return to her home where she has family that can care for her?
You can hate and despise whatever she did, but keep asking yourself what did she actually do?
She made some thoughtless comments, possibly under duress to impress the people that she was most afraid of.
Is that to be her death sentence, for simply being young, foolish, and afraid?

And if she dies, and I really hope this doesn't happen, how about the British conscience?
What message does that send to the rest of the world?

Its Your choice! I know mine!

UPDATE:

Bangladesh, Unsafe:
I have recently watched a YouTube video. It was from Good Morning Britain.
Now I no longer wonder why I've always avoided that programme!
In the interview they spoke to Shamima about wanting to return to Britain.

They reminded her that she still had citizenship with Bangladesh.
I felt this was really insulting as she was born on the 25th of August in 1999, right here in the UK.
That makes her a British Citizen, and this is her home country.

The point in fact is that if she were to go to Bangladesh, then she would immediately be arrested and possibly executed.

I'd like to take the opportunity of reminding people that as a British Citizen, and under our laws, no-one has a right to take her Citizenship away.
She is not a murderer, she did not do battle with anyone.
Shamima was just 15 years old, and like most young women wanted a family of her own.
ISIS painted her a pretty little picture of Paradise, and then delivered her into a monstrous hell.

The man that she married 'Yago Riedijk', was never a genuine ISIS terrorist, and soon wanted to get away from them.
Please read what, Yago Riedijk says about Shamima.

From the programme, (Good Morning Britain), Richard and Susanna could not hide their dislike of Shamima, and I find them very unprofessional.
Then Richard asked her the most ridiculous and dangerous question anyone could have ever asked her on public TV.
He asked, 'would she be willing to give names of ISIS chiefs and other information'. Is this man real?

This was asked whilst she is still in imminent danger within Syria.
Is he trying to get her killed?

I kept trying to put an encourageing message on another YouTube video made by Sky News, and they kept deleting them.
Sky, are clearly Bias against Shamima.

Then another interview with the once home secretary Sajid Javid.
And all he would say is if you knew what I know you wouldn't allow her back.
I'm sorry Sajid, are we all second class citizens in this country, and we're not allowed to know what it is he's hiding from us?
We're all grown ups, baring the fact that when Shamima went there she was just a child.

And may we remind Sajid, that we pay his wages and allow him to be in the position that he holds.

I'm well aware that she said some silly things, but that was in order to please ISIS, and to keep herself from being murdered by them.
Anyone would lie, and as I have stated before she can hardly say much in the predicament that she's in right now.
We're a diplomatic society, you can't just dismiss someone without a trial.
We live with a legal right that dictates we are innocent until found guilty, not vice-versa!

Bring her home, and give her that trial, she is more than willing to go to prison if you find her guilty.
She has apologised, and just because you don't see her crying and begging, it doesn't mean that she isn't crying inside.
This young lady has lost three children, and I know for a woman that is massive. And I talk from experience, involving female relatives, that I once had to try and console. The truth is I lost a daughter, she was just five years old, and my life felt as if it would never recover..!
So hear her out, give her the benefit of the doubt, and treat her the way that you yourself would want to be treated?

And after reading the hateful comments left on YouTube, I'd like to ask them all one last question.
Have none of you ever made any misjudgements of situations in your lives?
Why is it we can allow ex male fighters back to the UK, but not a young girl that was clearly groomed?

23rd of February 2024.

GB News:
The court decided once again not to allow Shamima back to the UK, even though she is a British citizen.
People may argue that point because they illegally stripped her of that right, but to me, she is and always will be British.
On the same day I was listening to the GB news, and my comment to those newscasters is report the news, don't create it for yourselves..!
They were complaining about the money that has been spent on Shamima's court appeals, so heres an idea, 'economise', and let her come home!

JUSTICE MUST PREVAIL!
