Amazingly enough, only Sky thought to ask: Shamima Begum's UK return - what is the law? There are various criteria that have to be met if she is to be prevented from returning to the UK. Wednesday 20 February 2019 01:42, UK The decision by the Home Secretary Sajid Javid to try to strip Islamic State bride Shamima Begum of her UK citizenship may play well in the court of public opinion - but what actually is the legal situation? The rules governing citizenship are covered by the British Nationality Act 1981 (BNA 1981). It defines what being a British citizen means in law and how that citizenship can be removed. However that process also has to adhere to international law which forbids nations from making people stateless by revoking their only citizenship. In the case of Shamima Begum, Mr Javid will have to prove she has dual British/ Bangladeshi nationality. The BNA 1981 Section 40 part 2: The Secretary of State may by order deprive a person of a citizenship status if the Secretary of State is satisfied that deprivation is conducive to the public good. http://news.sky.com/story/shamima-begums-citizenship-what-is-the-law-11642504 |
