Summary of complaint
We've received complaints from people who feel it's inappropriate to feature a podcast and documentary about Shamima Begum.
Our response
The Shamima Begum Story podcast is important investigative journalism from 麻豆社 News.
At a time when there is a public interest in her situation, listeners will hear Josh Baker forensically tests Shamima Begum鈥檚 account and carefully retraces her route from London to Syria.
We investigate key editorial questions about how she got to Islamic State Group territory in Syria, what she did when she got there, and the consequences of her actions. We also explore radicalisation in the UK, issues of national security and features testimony by those impacted by the group.
This is not a platform for Shamima Begum to give her unchallenged story. This is a robust, public interest investigation into who she really is and what she really did.
The podcast is series two of the 'I鈥檓 Not A Monster' series. The new series builds on the award-winning international success of series one which was also hosted by investigative journalist, Josh Baker, and we鈥檇 encourage people to listen and watch in full.
