By Emily Tamkin Emily Tamkin Foreign affairs Email Bio Follow March 10 at 2:54 PM Charlie Flanagan, the Irish minister for justice and equality, said Sunday that “every effort” would be made to bring an Irish woman believed to be detained in northern Syria back to Ireland.
“If there are children involved, of course, we need to ensure there’s an element of compassion there,” Flanagan said. British Home Secretary Sajid Javid initially said he would revoke the British citizenship of 19-year-old Shamima Begum, who left for Syria at 15 to marry an Islamic State fighter. It appeared that the British government erroneously believed Begum also had Bangladeshi citizenship. Javid then said he wouldn’t render anyone stateless, and that, in any event, he would not punish Begum’s baby.
