Shamima Begum Loses Latest Citizenship Appeal

[Notch7]

No, not to apply, it is automatic. It is why she was found not be stateless when her British citizenship was removed.

"The Commission in G3 (para 70) held that the aforesaid provisions make it manifest that citizenship by descent in Bangladesh arises at birth. This interpretation is also supported by the use of the phrases ‘shall be a citizen of Bangladesh by descent’ and ‘person claiming citizenship by descent’ in Section 5 of the Citizenship Act 1951 and Rule 9 of the Bangladesh Citizenship Rules 1952 respectively. Therefore, a person is automatically a citizen of Bangladesh at birth if either of his or her parents is a Bangladeshi citizen by birth (i.e. was born in Bangladesh)."

Shamima Begum may be a Bangladeshi Citizen After All

In 2015, Ms Shamima Begum, then a 15-year-old British citizen living in London, travelled to Syria to join the so-called Islamic State. Her fate was unknown until recently when Ms Begum was discovered in a refugee camp in Syria. On 19 February 2019, the British Home Office in a letter delivered...

But all the same Bangladesh govt have basically denied she is a citizen and would refuse anyway

She may be theoretically a citizen of Bangladesh, but in practice not

Yes, but all we (UK courts) can do is pronounce judgement on the law as it stands. She was found not to be stateless as Bangladeshi law is that clear that citizenship is, in her case, automatic at birth.

What you are saying is she has Bangladesh citizenship

Bangladeshi law says that but of course it doesn't stop Bangladesh saying or doing whatever they want.

she was groomed

Nah, not even Hook Hand would want to tap her one.

Or did you mean the 'tache is gone?

Bangladesh is just as free to say that she has British citizenship, as Britain is to say that she has Bangladesh citizenship.

It was a race to withdraw her passport fist, without rendering her 'stateless'. The UK won. Stateless in this instance is meaningless. No one will admit her through their ports, no matter what.

Too late. Good old Sajid Javid got in first. Tories.

Revoke a passport that had never been issued

And citizenship that had never been applied for.

 

[noseall]

Revoke a passport that had never been issued

The UK revoked a passport that's probably expired.

 

[Mottie]

Revoke a passport that had never been issued

Yeah. The one she used when travelling out there unless they let you leave the country by plane without one these days.

Did she make a voluntary choice to leave the country with others and make a trip to another country to meet up with those that 'groomed' her and then try to come back when it all turned to shìt?
