Begum loses appeal against stripping of UK citizenship
SHAMIMA BEGUM lost an appeal today against the removal of her British citizenship, in a decision widely condemned by human rights groups.
The 24-year-old’s lawyers vowed to “keep fighting” after the Court of Appeal dismissed her case.
Ms Begum lost her first appeal against the decision to revoke her citizenship on national security grounds when the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC) ruled against her last year.
