IS runaway believes Shamima Begum deserves redemption

By ITV News

Do you think ISIS recruits like Shamima Begum deserve a second chance?

Well, former IS member Tareena Shakil who also fled Britain to join the Islamic State in Syria, was later allowed to return home to the UK, unlike Shamima.

Tareena Shakil, was the first woman to be prosecuted in the UK for joining a terror group. She was sentenced to six years behind bars after running away to Syria with her child, when she was 24.

So why did Tareena deserve another shot? And how does Tareena’s case differ from Shamima’s?

And ultimately, how do we as a society learn to trust those formerly associated with terror groups?
