«Breaking News» Fury as Diane Abbott blames death of ISIS bride Shamima Begum's baby on British government

The baby son of runaway Islamic State schoolgirl Shamima Begum died in northern Syria yesterday, confirmed the Syrian Democratic Forces. 

Labour's Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott tweeted her response to the news in the early hours of this morning, placing the blame for the baby's death at Home Secretary Sajid Javid's door.  

She tweeted: 'It is against international law to make someone stateless, and now an innocent child has died as a result of a British woman being stripped of her citizenship. This is callous and inhumane.' 

Abbott stated that the tragedy might have been avoided had Shamima Begum been allowed to return to the UK. 

She said: 'This week a British baby died from pneumonia in a Syrian refugee camp. A tragedy that might have been avoided.

'If the mother & baby had been brought home, the mother Shamima Begum would have faced British justice, but the baby might have lived. 

'Sajid Javid has behaved shamefully.'  

Conservative Party chairman Brandon Lewis has defended Home Secretary Sajid Javid's decision to strip Shamima Begum of her British citizenship.

'The loss of any life of any child is absolutely tragic and is a very clear reminder - this whole case - of the danger of travelling out to that area and getting involved,' Mr Lewis told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.

'The Home Secretary will have had advice and I know he made a decision based on what is in the national interest and the security of people here in the UK.

'There is no question that the duty of a home secretary in this country is to keep British people safe.'

It was confirmed late last night that 3-week-old Jerah had died following a lung infection

This is the third child Miss Begum, 19, has lost, previously losing two children to illness and malnutrition

A paramedic working for the Kurdish Red Crescent at the scene told the BBC the baby, named Jerah, died yesterday after suffering breathing difficulties and a lung infection.

He was taken to a doctor before being transferred to hospital but died at 1.30pm local time that day, the medical worker added. 

Jerah, who had 'turned blue and was cold' according to a friend of Begum, was believed to have been 18 days old.

The family's lawyer, Tasnime Akunjee, retweeted Diane Abbot's criticism of Sajid Javid and tweeted himself yesterday reporting 'strong but as yet unconfirmed reports' that the three-week-old infant had died, adding: 'He was a British citizen.'

The baby's death was then disputed by Mustafa Bali, the spokesman for the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), who said the baby was 'alive and healthy' and it was 'fake news'.

He later deleted the post and insiders in Roj camp where she was living confirmed the baby had died after earlier saying he was fine.

Miss Begum, 19, gave birth to Jerah in a refugee camp last month, having lost two children to illness and malnutrition. They too had suffered breathing problems. 

Earlier the family's lawyer, Tasnime Akunjee, tweeted of 'strong but as yet unconfirmed reports' that the three-week-old infant had died, adding: 'He was a British citizen' 

Mr Akunjee (pictured) had taken to Twitter to say that he had 'strong but as yet unconfirmed reports' that the child had passed away, adding: 'He was a British citizen'

Begum is pictured holding her son Jerah, named after a 7th century Islamic warlord, in the Al-Hol refugee camp where he was born

Begum, now 19, left London to join ISIS in Syria when she was just 15 years old, and swiftly married Dutch husband Yago Riedijk, now 27

The teenager had asked the British government to let her back but Mr Javid made the decision to strip her of her citizenship after she showed no remorse.

Who is Shamima Begum's lawyer? 

Privately-educated lawyer Tasnime Akunjee has represented the families of the three girls from Tower Hamlets, east London, who fled the UK to join Islamic State, including Shamima Begum, since 2015.  

Since she was found in a Syrian refugee camp in mid-February, Mr Akunjee has caused controversy by comparing the 19-year-old ISIS bride to a First World War soldier and said she had been treated worse than Nazi war criminals. Mr Akunjee has been spearheading the campaign to get Ms Begum repatriated to the UK.

Previous clients of the criminal defence lawyer include one of Lee Rigby's killers. He once blamed British authorities for 'creating' Fusilier Rigby's killer, suggested Theresa May has 'Nazi blood' for trying to root out extremists and urged Muslims not to cooperate with police. 

Twice married Mr Akunjee, 41, has worked for a series of law firms since 2008, while also working as a legal adviser to the East London Mosque. 

It is believed he may have met the families of the runaway Tower Hamlets girls as part of this role. 

Mr Akunjee said he is handling the Begum case 'pro bono', meaning free of charge. It is unclear whether that would continue if the case came before the British courts in future. 

According to his LinkedIn page, Mr Akunjee, the son of a Bangladeshi doctor, studied at the £18,000-a-year City of London School for Boys.  

He went on to study law at the Universities of Sussex and then Westminster.

His death will reignite the debate over what to do with British jihadis and their wives and whether Britain should have allowed Miss Begum and her child back to the UK.

Speaking to the Mail from her tent last month she broke down into tears as she said: 'This boy is all I have.'

Responding to the claims, Mr Javid told the BBC: 'Obviously I don't know whether that news is true or not but what I will say, sadly there are probably many children, obviously perfectly innocent, who have been born in this war zone.

'I have nothing but sympathy for the children that have been dragged into this. This is a reminder of why it is so, so dangerous for anyone to be in this war zone.'

Miss Begum was 15 when she and two other schoolgirls left the UK to join Islamic State in February 2015.

The teenager resurfaced heavily-pregnant in a camp in northern Syria last month and spoke of her desire to return to Britain, as the 'caliphate' collapsed.

She was moved to Roj this month from the Al-Hawl refugee camp after she was threatened by other IS wives for revealing her face during Press interviews.

The east London teenager showed no remorse for joining the terror group, where she married Dutch jihadi Yago Riedijk, 23, who is now in jail.

He had never met his son Jerah, who shares the same name as a 7th century Islamic warlord.

Riedijk, who is in a Kurdish-run detention center, said last week that he wanted to return to the Netherlands with Begum and their son.

The British government could not confirm reports of the baby's death yesterday because it has no one on the ground in the country.

Begum's parents are from Bangladesh but her family says she isn't a dual citizen. The family has said it plans to challenge Javid's decision to strip her of her citizenship.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
