Stripping Shamima Begum of UK citizenship was unlawful, lawyers say
The removal of Shamima Begum's UK citizenship in 2019 was unlawful, her lawyers have argued.
The case is being heard at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission , which has similar standing to the High Court, and can hear national security evidence in secret if necessary. She was found by the Times newspaper in a Syrian refugee camp in 2019. Ms Sultana is believed to have been killed in a Russian air strike in Syria, according to her family's solicitor, and the whereabouts of Ms Abase are unknown.
They also argued the Home Office had not properly considered the effect taking away Ms Begum's citizenship might have on the wider Muslim community and other minorities in the UK. Mr Squires said for some people British citizenship is somehow "conditional on their good behaviour".
