Danny Dyer Thinks ISIS Schoolgirl Should Return (to the UK) To Explain Her Actions
Click to viewDanny Dyer (a British actor known for his bluntness during interviews) has said that 19 year old ISIS bride Shamima Begum should be allowed to return to the UK to explain her actions.
Some context:
Begum was one of three teenage girls who left the UK in 2015 to join ISIL (she was 15 years old). She married a Dutch ISIS recruit, Yago Riedijk, and had three children by him - two of them died in infancy, and the third was born just a few days ago. Nobody really knows about Yago Riedijk's whereabouts now, but he's said to have been wounded during battle and then tortured by ISIS chiefs who suspected him of treason.
Begum, now 19 years old, wants to come back to the UK to live a normal life to raise her child. In an recent interview, she said she did not regret joining ISIS, however. She said that she "still supports some British values." She also said that seeing the head of a beheaded man for the first time left her unfazed, however she thinks that ISIL deserves to fail because of corruption and violence.
