Court of Appeal Upholds Decision to Revoke Shamima Begum's Citizenship

The ruling marks another setback for Begum, whose legal team pledges to continue the fight for her return to the UK.

Shamima Begum loses appeal against the UK government's decision to revoke her citizenship, with the Court of Appeal ruling the decision lawful.
Begum's legal team vows to continue fighting for her return to the UK, emphasizing the harsh conditions in the Syrian refugee camp where she resides.
Critics argue the ruling highlights inequalities in UK citizenship laws and the government's reluctance to repatriate individuals linked to ISIS.
The UK government and Home Office maintain the decision was in the interest of national security, with former Home Secretary Sajid Javid welcoming the ruling.
Begum, now 24, had fled the UK at age 15 to join ISIS in Syria and has been living in a Syrian refugee camp since her citizenship was revoked in 2019.
