Begum, who travelled to Syria to join IS aged 15 in 2105, is battling to regain the British citizenship stripped from her as a result after being found in a refugee camp in February 2019.

Now 24 and originally from Bethnal Green, East London, she lost a challenge against the ruling earlier this year.

Home Office lawyers will give their arguments at the London hearing today.

In written submissions, they say: “The fact someone is radicalised is not inconsistent with the assessment that they pose a national security risk.”

Samantha Knights KC said: “The appellant’s trafficking was a mandatory, relevant consideration in determining whether it was conducive to the public good and proportionate to deprive her of citizenship, but it was not considered by the Home Office.

“As a consequence, the deprivation decision was unlawful.”

Ms Knights and Dan Squires KC later said the UK has failed to have a “full and effective” investigation into how Ms Begum was trafficked.
