Begum's lawyer Daniel Furner said she would "immediately initiate an appeal" against the decision. Begum, then 15, was one of three schoolgirls from Bethnal Green in east London who left home to join the jihadist group on February 17, 2015. Javid removed her British citizenship soon after amid an outcry led by right-wing media. He has said more than 100 people had been deprived of their British citizenship. Begum took legal action against the Home Office last year.
