IS bride’s family launch citizenship denial appeal
The family of Islamic State bride Shamima Begum are reported to have started legal proceedings to review the decision to strip her of British citizenship.
Ms Begum was one of three schoolgirls to leave Bethnal Green to join the terrorist group in 2015.
Home secretary Sajid Javid revoked the teenager’s British citizenship in a move only permissible under international law if it does not leave the individual stateless.
It has been reported that
appeals against this decision have been made with the Special Immigration Appeals Commission. Tasnime Akunjee, who represents Ms Begum’s family, said the decision put the woman’s life at risk.
