In 2015, fifteen-year-old Shamima Begum left the UK with two of her friends on a flight bound for Turkey. But the East London schoolgirls were not going on holiday. They were going to join thousands of recruits from across the globe in the Syrian city of Raqqa. They were going to join the so-called Islamic State. Four years later Shamima Begum, now nineteen, was found in a refugee camp and the UK Government revoked her citizenship, something she鈥檚 been trying to get back ever since.

But what would make a teenager want to join a group like Islamic State? What were the 鈥減ush and pull factors鈥� linked to ISIS radicalisation?

On this episode of Bad People Dr Julia Shaw and Sofie Hagen are joined by Josh Baker, the journalist behind 鈥楾he Shamima Begum Story鈥�, where for the first time her account of what happened is investigated.

This episode contains clips from the 麻豆约拍 Radio Five Live podcast 鈥業鈥檓 Not A Monster: The Shamima Begum Story鈥�
