Three teenage schoolgirls who fled London to join the Islamic State group are in danger of being "brutalised to death," their lawyer has said.
The lawyer for Amira Abase, Shamima Begum, and Kadiza Sultana told the radio station LBC that the chances of the trio leaving ISIS-controlled territory were "very small."
Speaking with LBC chief correspondent Tom Swarbrick, lawyer Muhammed Akunjee, said: "If you get there, then your chances of going anywhere else afterwards are vanishingly small.
"And the alternative consequences are lethal."
You can listen to the radio interview below.
The three girls attended the same school in east London, Bethnal Green Academy.
During his LBC interview, Akunjee also told of his skepticism over reports the ISIS militant dubbed "Jihadi John Two" was former bouncy-castle salesman Siddhartha Dhar.
He said: "Siddhartha Dhar is not Jihadi John number two to my knowledge. The fellow who is billed as Jihadi John number two has one eye disproportionately larger than the other. Siddhartha Dhar is not disadvantaged genetically in that way."
