A spy for Canada is accused of smuggling a teenager into Syria in 2015, after she fled the United Kingdom to join the Islamic State group,Shamima Begum, then 15, was one of three teenage girls reported missing from an East London neighbourhoodBy 2019, Begum was in a Syrian refugee camp, trying to find her way back to the U.K. However, the British Home Office denied her entry and stripped her of her citizenship, citing security risks.
He then began helping people enter Islamic State territory in Syria from Turkey, while sharing their information with Canadian intelligence. He operated as part of an ISIS people-smuggling network for approximately eight months before he allegedly helped Begum enter Syria, the BBC reports. He was arrested in Turkey days later.
"The U.K. has international obligations as to how we view a trafficked person and what culpability we prescribe to them for their actions," he told the BBC.“Someone who is supposed to be an ally, protecting our people, rather than trafficking British children into a war zone,” he told the BBC.In a media conference Tuesday,that while the Canadian intelligence services need to be “flexible” and “creative” in their fight against terrorism, they are bound by strict rules.
