BREAKING: ShamimaBegum lost her legal challenge this morning
Shamima Begum has lost a legal challenge over the decision to deprive her of her British citizenship.
Her British citizenship was revoked shortly after she was found, nine months pregnant, in a Syrian refugee camp in February 2019.Ms Begum, now 23, brought a challenge against the Home Office over this decision at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission , a specialist tribunal which hears challenges to decisions to remove someone’s British citizenship on national security grounds.
At the hearing last year, Ms Begum's barristers Samantha Knights KC and Dan Squires KC said she was “recruited, transported, transferred, harboured and received in Syria for the purposes of ‘sexual exploitation’ and ‘marriage’ to an adult male”.
