Shamima Begum has said she is "sorry" to the UK public for joining the Islamic State and says she would "rather die" than go back to the terrorist organisation.
Speaking exclusively to ITV's Good Morning Britain from a Syrian camp where she is being detained, the 22-year-old said she was groomed by IS. However, she added: “There is no justification for killing people in the name of God. I apologise. I’m sorry”.
Ms Begum left the UK aged 15 when she and two other east London schoolgirls travelled to Syria to join the IS in February 2015.
