Shamima Begum refused to speak to journalists at a camp in northern Syria following the decision by senior judges to allow her to return to the UK to challenge her
Ms Begum – one of three east London schoolgirls who travelled to Syria to join the so-called Islamic State group (IS) – travelled to Syria in February 2015 and lived under IS rule for more than three years before she was found, nine months pregnant, in a Syrian refugee camp in February last year.
Then home secretary Sajid Javid revoked her British citizenship on national security grounds later that month.
Ms Begum, now 20, took legal action against the Home Office, claiming the decision was unlawful because it rendered her stateless and exposed her to a real risk of death or inhuman and degrading treatment.
On Thursday morning Lord Justice Flaux, Lady Justice King and Lord Justice Singh ruled that Ms Begum should be allowed to return to the UK to pursue her appeal, albeit subject to controls imposed by the Secretary of State.
