A group of United Nations experts has called on Britain to repatriate Shamima Begum, a 'vulnerable' woman now 24, who was stripped of her British citizenship after leaving the country at the age of 15 to marry an ISIS fighter. The UN's demand highlights Begum's situation, suggesting she was 'recruited for sexual exploitation'. The case has sparked a debate within the UK, with former Home Secretary Priti Patel and others stating that the case is closed and criticizing the UN for its involvement in what they see as a domestic issue. The situation raises questions about the responsibility of governments to their citizens and the limits of international intervention in national legal matters, with concerns about the potential cost to the taxpayer of at least '£1 million per year'.

Ex-military intelligence officer Philip Ingram says former ‘Jihadi bride’ Shamima Begum is “very dangerous”, as UN calls for her return to the UK. “We can never trust a thing that she says, and that’s going to cost the taxpayer a minimum of £1 million per year.” @PhilipIngMBE https://t.co/hBUwYpcVEB

"The increasingly ridiculous woke United Nations under the control of that fool António Guterres... a sort of left wing idiot." After the UN demanded Shamima Begum is returned to the UK, @TVKev and @ThatAlexWoman tell them to "shut up". https://t.co/st2NeFEIEQ
'The UN should not be getting involved in what is a very domestic case to the United Kingdom.' Former Home Secretary, Dame Priti Patel, says the Shamima Begum case is closed and the evidence against it is 'substantial'. https://t.co/zaM07GI4hV

UN 'experts' urge UK to repatriate Shamima Begum, claiming credible evidence the 'vulnerable' jihadi bride was recruited by ISIS for 'sexual exploitation' - if I were the UK I'd say to the UN 'f*** you'. More evidence of lack of UN credibility #terrorism https://t.co/uKEgu1unQ4
'Government states do have a responsibility to look after all of their citizens and deal with them whatever they've done in the world.' @IainDale questions whether it was right for Britain to bar Shamima Begum after the UN demands for her to be repatriated. https://t.co/ANIk1mnygl
