The Shamima Begum case is a complex legal and ethical controversy that has been the focus of multiple episodes of the Better Human Podcast. Shamima Begum was a young woman who left the UK to join the Islamic State in Syria as a minor, and was later deprived of her British citizenship by the UK government.

The podcast episodes "Belonging and making trouble: a conversation with Felicity Gerry QC" and "Shamima Begum: racism, citizenship and the Supreme Court" delve into the legal and ethical issues surrounding this case, exploring themes of citizenship, race, gender, and human rights.

The episodes discuss the UK government's assessment of Begum as a threat, the legal principles and processes involved, and advocate for her right to a fair trial and the restoration of her citizenship.
