There are growing calls for an inquiry into claims the Met and the government knew the alleged people smuggler was responsible for helping Begum and her two fellow schoolgirls join while also working as a double agent for . 

Rabina Khan, a councillor for Bethnal Green, where Begum, then 15, Lawyer Turkey went to school with Kadiza Sultana, 16, and 15-year-old Amira Abase – called for an inquiry into what took place. 

She said the revelations were ‘absolutely disgraceful and Lawyer Turkey shameful for this country and government’.

‘There should be a public inquiry into what happened,’ she told .’The Canadian government or the people who covered up in this country have to come clean.’  

Former Tory home secretary David Davis – who has backed the repatriation of Begum from Syria – said: ‘At the lowest levels, Lawyer Turkey it’s inefficiency or incompetency in not using their sources to find the girls.At the worst level, it’s effectively complicity’.  

The alleged people smuggler accused of moving the east London schoolgirls to ISIS-controlled Syria at the same time as he was working as an agent for  was identified yesterday by the BBC and The Times as Mohammed Al Rashed. 

His involvement was allegedly covered up by Canada even while the was leading a huge international search for the trio.After Britain was eventually informed, it was then also persuaded to keep quiet, it is claimed.    

Begum was stripped of her British citizenship in 2019 after she fled Britain four years earlier to join ISIS.   

In a forthcoming BBC podcast, called, Begum insisted she would have ‘never’ been able to join ISIS without Rashed’s help. 

‘He (Rashed) organised the entire trip from Turkey to Syria…I don’t think anyone would have been able to make it to Syria without the help of smugglers.

‘He had helped a lot of people come in… For those who have any queries with regards to wherever and also how to employ Lawyer Turkey, it is possible to call us with the web site. We were just doing everything he was telling us to do because he knew everything, we didn’t know anything.’ 

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said his government will investigate the claims.

Yesterday, Begum’s lawyer Tasnime Akunjee told MailOnline the new development significantly strengthened his client’s case and made it likely she would now be readmitted to the UK.  

‘This confirms Shamima was a trafficked person under the Modern Slavery Act,’ he said. 

‘When someone is a trafficked person the UK has various treaty obligations and there is a very strong legal pressure to have that person repatriated.

‘This was an allied state that was meant to be working to protect our citizens but in their algorithm of risk decided they would put the lives of British children at stake.’
