The British schoolgirl who ran away to join IS could "face the death penalty" for terrorism if she tried to enter Bangladesh, its foreign minister has said.
The BBC reported that Mr Abdul Momen said Shamima Begum "has never sought Bangladeshi citizenship", but if she did she would
be held to the country's "zero tolerance policy" towards terrorism, reports news.com.au.
"Bangladeshi law is very clear," Mr Momen said.
"Terrorists will have to face the death penalty."
He added that "the British government is responsible for her" and "they'll have to deal with her".
