Decision to deprive Shamima Begum of her citizenship was unlawful, Court of Appeal hears
Shamima Begum lost her british citizenship in 2019 after joining Isis at the age of 15
THE decision to deprive Shamima Begum of her British citizenship was unlawful, the Court of Appeal heard today.
Ms Begum travelled to Syria in 2015 — at the age of 15 — before her British citizenship was revoked on national security grounds shortly after she was found in a Syrian refugee camp in February 2019.
Earlier this year, the now-24-year-old lost a challenge against the decision at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC).
