In February 2015, three teenage schoolgirls left the |
|
comfort of their homes in East London and traveled to |
|
Syria to join the self-styled Islamic State. Around 60 |
|
women and girls are thought to have made the same journey |
|
from Britain. |
|
|
|
The story of their disappearance dominated the UK press |
|
for weeks and the blame game inevitably began to hunt out |
|
whose fault it was. When the families of Amira Abase, |
|
Shamima Begum, and Kadiza Sultana found out that the |
|
police had been interviewing the trio about another girl |
|
from their school who had already joined IS, the case was |
|
picked up for investigation by the government. But soon |
|
certain sections of the press would turn on the families |
|
themselves. |
|
|
|
VICE News gained intimate access to the father of one |
|
girl, Amira, and joined him as he dealt with the press |
|
and parliament to find out what it's like for those left |
|
behind by the tragic choices of their loved ones. |
|
|
|
In this excerpt, the parents of Amira Abase struggle to |
|
understand why their 15-year-old daughter has run away. |
|
Hussen and Fetia explain to VICE News how it feels to |
|
lose a loved one to the extremist organization. |
