Shamima Begum who joined ISIS as a teen 'could be freed' within days
Security setbacks and violent clashes at Islamic State detention camps run by US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces raise concerns and may lead to Shamima Begum’s release within days.
- On January 19, reports say Shamima Begum may be released from the al‑Roj detention camp amid violent clashes outside prison walls.
- The Kurdish‑led Syrian Democratic Forces , backed by the US, have struggled to hold ground after Syrian leader Ahmed al‑Sharaa captured most of north‑east Syria and brokered a ceasefire, with SDF retreats and clashes undermining camp security and raising safety worries that could force detainee releases.
- In a document published by the European Court last year, judges posed four questions to the Home Office about trafficking and Begum, 26, who was stripped of British citizenship in 2019 after being `married off` as a teenage ISIS bride.
- Begum has recently looked to renew her legal challenge as the ECHR pressed the UK, while reports say she `could soon be freed within days` amid weakening SDF control.
- Violence at multiple camps shows unrest is not confined to al‑Roj, with Monday clashes outside al‑Aqtan prison near Raqqa, Deir al‑Zour, and al‑Shadidi complicating security for IS detainees.
