Campaigners slam ‘profoundly wrong’ Supreme Court refusal to hear Begum's appeal
HUMAN rights campaigners have called the Supreme Court’s refusal to hear Shamima Begum's appeal against the stripping of her British citizenship “profoundly wrong.”
Judges said the 24-year-old could not appeal against an earlier Court of Appeal ruling.
It was her last chance within the British legal system to challenge the government’s decision to revoke her citizenship on national security grounds after she travelled to Syria as a teenager to join the Islamic State group.
