A jihadi bride who travelled to Syria to join Isis could be allowed to return to Britain.
Immigration judges ruled that the Home Office should not block her from coming back because she needs medical care and has a son.
They have asked Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, to reconsider the application “as soon as possible”.
Campaigners have expressed outrage at the judges’ decision, calling it “deplorable and immoral”.
Rob Bates, of the Centre for Migration Control, said: “The human rights of a known security risk is being allowed to trammel the wellbeing and safety of Brits.”
The woman, who cannot be named, left the UK with her husband in 2014.
She was subsequently stripped of her citizenship in 2017, and suffered a brain injury after an air strike in 2019.
She is currently being cared for by her son who is a British citizen, despite being born in Syria.
The woman is being kept alongside infamous fellow Isis bride Shamima Begum in the Al Roj camp in northern Syria, and was deemed a national security risk in February 2024.
However, the Special Immigration Appeals Commission has denied arguments that her posed danger has not diminished.
Her application to return comes as around 40,000 people held in Syrian prison camps are facing uncertain futures following the overthrow of dictator Bashar al-Assad.
An email from an MI5 officer — mentioned in the judges’ ruling — read: “Concerns have been raised in relation to her safety and that of her son (including risk to life) due to the perception of her disability among the other camp residents, including that there is a lack of specialist medical care.”
Professor Nimisha Patel, a clinical psychologist, stated that returning the boy to Britain without his mother would “undoubtedly lead to intense and likely prolonged distress” for both of them.
The woman is also appealing against the decision to revoke her citizenship.
The Home Office said it does not comment on individual cases.
