"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"A top European court has demanded answers over the UK's decision to strip Shamima Begum of her citizenship after she travelled to join the so-called Islamic State at the age of 15. The European Court of Human Rights has asked questions over whether Britain upheld its responsibilities towards victims of trafficking before the home secretary revoked her citizenship in 2019. Ms Begum travelled from Bethnal Green, east London, to territory held by IS a decade ago."
"Ten days after arriving in Syria, she was married off to IS fighter Yago Riedijk, a Dutch-born convert to Islam and a convicted terrorist. She was stripped of her British citizenship in February 2019 on the grounds she posed a threat to national security. In 2020, the Court of Appeal ruled she should be allowed to return to the UK in order to fairly contest that decision. But a year later the Supreme Court ruled unanimously against bringing Ms Begum back."
The Independent covers issues from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech and emphasizes on-the-ground journalism funded by donations and a paywall-free model. The outlet investigates topics such as the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word', spotlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. A top European court has asked whether Britain fulfilled its obligations to trafficking victims before the home secretary revoked Shamima Begum's citizenship after she travelled to join Islamic State at 15. Begum married an IS fighter shortly after arrival, was stripped of citizenship in 2019, and remains in a Syrian camp after UK courts issued conflicting rulings.
