Shamima Begum, the UK teen who ran away to Syria to join ISIS, has claimed she was 'brainwashed' and has begged for the UK to give her a second chance. Begum, who was 15 when she travelled from her east London home to Syria in 2015, is married to Dutch terrorist Yago Riedijk, 27. Begum has lost three young children while living in Baghuz and also spoke about the recent death of son Jerrah, who passed away in February.
