Terrorist’s wife refuses SEVEN council houses after claiming her human rights were breached by not being in the right location
The mum-of-two, who The Sun cannot name, was freed from jail in 2016 and has been costing the taxpayer thousands by staying in B&Bs
THE convicted terrorist wife of a notorious British jihadi claimed a council breached her human rights by not giving her a new home — even though she turned down seven house offers.
The mother of two, freed from jail in September 2016, insisted that the homes offered were not in the right location.
She has been living in B&Bs and hotels for 16 months, costing the taxpayer tens of thousands of pounds, while conducting her costly High Court lawsuit.
The woman, who is on benefits, even turned down £5,000 from officials for a deposit to buy her own place.
Details of the extraordinary case emerged as Judge Jennifer Eady ruled her human rights had not been violated.
She has been granted anonymity.
The mum, who has sons aged five and nine and lives in Brent, North London, also moaned that private landlords refused to deal with her because of her criminal record.
Her husband left the UK in 2013 to wage jihad and later became an extremist commander.
A year later she was jailed for 28 months for a terrorist offence.
She was freed in July 2015 but returned to jail for breaching her licence.
The woman is still seen as such a danger that she is banned from social media and must report to intelligence officials regularly.
The court heard she demanded a new council house once she was out of prison.
In September 2016 she turned down two one-bed homes in South London because they were too small.
Two-bedroom homes in Dulwich, South London, Kidderminster, Worcs, and Great Wryley, Staffs, were rejected in March the following year because they were too far from her family.

She was moved into temporary accommodation before refusing a sixth home offer, this time in Wolverhampton.
She rejected a seventh as being “too expensive”.
Brent Council said it would not assist with rent.
