11. She's not going to Bangladesh. They've said that now she's over 21, her chance to get Bangladeshi citizenship

through her parents has expired (and I think they made sure of that - they regard her as Not Their Problem). She is stuck in the refugee camp (not a good place to be, as the deaths of her children have shown; and Assad's government may yet advance into that territory, and while others in the camp may then be able to flee, her chances are low).

The UK government does indeed know something we don't - part of their case is that they have evidence indicating she'd be a danger in an unspecified way if allowed into the UK. The courts have apparently seen the evidence, but it's not public (it might be, for instance, someone in the camp saying "she's putting on the act of contrition - she's still really an extremist Islamist at heart" ).

It's hard to know what her true beliefs have been - people can be foolish at 15, yes, but it's said she became pretty hard-line in the ISIS society. Brainwashing, or her chosen path?
