Shamima Begum: Shamima Begum citizenship REVOKED – why was her UK citizenship revoked?

ITV News has received a letter sent to the parents of Shamima Begum, a teenager who fled the UK to Syria in the hands of ISIS. The 19-year-old was found heavily pregnant at a Syrian refugee camp last week, where she said she wanted to return to the UK. She fled to Syria in 2015, accompanied by two of her friends from a secondary school in Bethnal Green. Once there, they were married off to ISIS fighters, and since then Begum has made a number of chilling comments including justifying the horrific Manchester bombings in 2017.

Why was Shamima Begum’s citizenship revoked?

The Home Office has not revealed the specific reason Begum’s citizenship has been revoked (taken away), simply saying the decision was made in light of her “circumstances”.

The letter to her parents reads: “Please find enclosed papers that relate to a decision taken by the Home Secretary, to deprive your daughter, Shamima Begum, of her British citizenship.

“In light of the circumstances of your daughter, the notice of the Home Secretary’s decision has been served of file today (19th February), and the order removing her British citizenship has subsequently been made.”
