The Supreme Court has refused to hear Shamima Begum's appeal against the deprivation of her British citizenship, seeing her case come to an end. The court ruled "the grounds of appeal do not raise an arguable point of law.”Ms Begum’s lawyers argued that the 2019 decision to revoke her British Citizenship was unlawful on four grounds.Firstly, they argued she was trafficked as a 15-year-old, something authorities should have prevented.
Begum travelled to Syria in 2015 aged 15 and her citizenship was revoked on national security grounds.It came shortly after she was found in a Syrian refugee camp in February 2019.Last year, the now 24-year-old lost a challenge against the decision at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission .Her lawyers went on to bring a bid to overturn that decision at the Court of Appeal, with the Home Office opposing the challenge.
