Justices at the UK's highest court throw out yet another bid by Shamima Begum to appeal the removal of her British citizenship, which she was stripped of on national security grounds after she travelled to Syria and married an IS fighter.
Shamima Begum will not be able to appeal the removal of her British citizenship at the Supreme Court, judges have ruled. Begum, 24, who travelled to Syria with two friends at the age of 15, had her citizenship revoked on national security grounds after being found in a Syrian refugee camp in 2019. In Syria, Begum married an IS fighter and gave birth to three children, all of whom died as infants.
On Wednesday, justices at the UK's highest court said Begum could not appeal again. In their decision, Lords Reed, Hodge and Lloyd-Jones found her proposed appeal grounds 'do not raise an arguable point of law'. The three justices said there was no arguable challenge to the Court of Appeal's decision, including on whether Begum should have been able to make representations to the then home secretary before she was stripped of her citizenship.
