The Shamima Begum case has divided opinion - but what does it take for someone's citizenship to be removed?
If someone is a UK citizen they have the legal right to live in the country, and to have access to services such as welfare, education and healthcare. They can also vote.Some people who are not citizens have the right to live in the UK permanently with many of the same rights.
The Home Office said Mr Sharif had links to a group aligned with al-Qaeda, but he denied the claim, andIn February 2020, a tribunal ruled that removing Ms Begum's citizenship was lawful because she was "a citizen of Bangladesh by descent", so removing her British nationality wouldn't make her stateless.
