A teenager who travelled to Syria to join Islamic State has called on people in the UK to have sympathy for her, the day after giving birth to a boy in a refugee camp.

Shamima Begum, 19, who left the UK with two school friends in 2015, spoke to the Times while heavily pregnant earlier this week from the al-Hawl refugee camp in north-eastern Syria. She said she was desperate to come back to the UK.

Her family’s lawyer, Tasnime Akunjee, said Begum had given birth on Saturday and that, though they had not had direct contact with her, they understood that both she and the baby were in good health.

Speaking to Sky News on Sunday while sitting with her newborn, she said: “I feel a lot of people should have sympathy for me, for everything I’ve been through. You know, I didn’t know what I was getting into when I left.

1. Are these posts an attempt to drum up pity for ISIS roadies?

“I feel a lot of people should have sympathy for me, for everything I’ve been through. You know, I didn’t know what I was getting into when I left."

Everything SHE'S been through?????? I feel sympathy for her victims but she can go to hell.

Damn lucky she's British where fully PC indoctrinated judges will buy her sob story and give her a slap on the wrist for joining one of the world's premier terrorist organizations but I sincerely hope our DOJ comes down like a ton of bricks on Americans who join ISIS.
