She was found in a Syrian refugee camp in February 2019. Shamima is understood to have a claim to Bangladeshi nationality through her mother. However, in February 2019, Bangladesh's ministry of foreign affairs said Begum was not a Bangladeshi citizen and there was "no question" of her being allowed into the country.
