Shamima Begum hopes Dutch terrorist husband will be sent to Rotterdam prison so she can 'wait for him'

Shamima Begum today revealed she is ready to beg Holland for citizenship because she is married to a Dutch jihadi as Home Secretary Sajid Javid had her passport torn up but admitted her son can be British.

The remorseless 19-year-old revealed today she is hanging her hopes on her captured husband Yago Riedijk being sent back to the Netherlands where he faces six years in jail for joining ISIS.

Begum said today she and their son Jerah - apparently named after a 7th century Islamic warlord - would consider moving to Holland and 'wait for him' while he is inside the notorious terror wing of Rotterdam's De Schie prison.

She said: 'Maybe I can ask for citizenship in Holland. If he gets sent back to prison in Holland I can just wait for him while he is in prison'. 

Riedijk, from Arnhem, joined ISIS in 2014 and married Begum within three weeks of her fleeing Bethnal Green for Syria in 2015. 

Two of their children died before the age of one due to malnutrition and Begum fears their third child will die too if they are not rescued from the al-Hawl refugee camp in northern Syria.

Experts have said that the jihadi couple's newborn baby has the right to a UK passport and this could help his mother get back to the UK on human rights grounds.

And today Home Secretary Sajid Javid told the Commons: 'If a parent does lose their British citizenship it does not affect the rights of their child'.
