This issue has not been resolved and will go on with further appeals (BBC/Joshua Baker)

I read The Independent’s editorial on Shamima Begum with interest and agreement.

It was a clear setting out of the facts, which is to be appreciated in a story so widely debated with both sympathy and hatred.

Begum was groomed at 15 in Britain, trafficked, and clearly manipulated on home soil. This country cannot abdicate its responsibility to one of its citizens; she should indeed be brought home and face justice here.
