The ex-jihadi wife claims that the only crime she had committed is travelling to Syria.
"I didn't hate Britain, I hated my life really," she said. "I felt very constricted, and I felt I couldn't live the life that I wanted in the UK as a British woman."
According to
Begum, who is currently held in a prison camp in Syria, she had been groomed for "weeks and weeks and maybe even months and months” before her final decision to join the terrorist group.
