Now think of the hundreds of years to come, how British society might change and what ideas or actions might warrant stripping an individual of their citizenship and bannishment?! This young woman should be subjected to the process of criminal justice, and should not be used as a precedent for stripping people of their most basic rights. If left standing this precedent will be used against people fighting for the very rights and values Britain is founded on. This judgement is not against her right to British citizenship, but against her right to appeal the decision to revoke that citizenship in country. IMO a sensible decision. I think she has a right to British citizenship, but her presence in country for the appeal against the decision is not necessary.

Are there many such cases of people aligning themselves with an enemy, change of heart when things don't go as planned, than ask to be taken into the fold once more? Also, as far as I understand, the issue decided was with regard to her returning to the UK to fight her case, not the matter of her revoked citizenship itself. She can still pursue legal action, but from abroad. Which is exactly what is happening now. Made no sense for her to return before her right to citizenship was decided. However there was no legal justification to remove her citizenship in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She lost her citizenship due to legisation passed by the british government to protect british citizens( the law abiding variety) its just came through on the news the decision has been upheld,perhaps it,ll serve as a lesson to any other aspiring terrorist. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She could have appealed to an EU Court, whether they would have accepted her appeal is a separate question. In any case precedent has been established by a number of EU countries cancelling citizenship of people joining IS. Some would have the view cancelling citizenship is rejecting legal responsibility by the home country and palming off to a foreign State which likely will have the death penalty contrary to UK law. IMO a degree of hypocrisy, if a UK citizen had committed murder in the US, HMG would not extradite unless death sentence is waived. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK is not a member of ‘The European Court of Human Rights’ it is a member of the Council of Europe (of which the UK is a founding member) and through this a signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights. The European Court of Human Rights sits in judgement on compliance of signatory nations to the Convention. It might be an idea to seek some knowledge on the ECHR before advocating leaving the Convention, rather than being triggered by the term ‘European’. I suspect Churchill would spin in his grave at such blind ignorance of an institution he made so much effort in founding.

Absolutely agree with this para from the above link........ Ms Begum will remain stuck in her camp in Syria. Many will think she is getting what she deserves, and getting off far more lightly than the uncountable victims of the barbaric movement she joined and celebrated. Closer to home, our politics will remain stuck in the idiocy and immorality of identitarianism unless we shake things up. An honest discussion about what Ms Begum represents, and about the broader threat posed by hateful, regressive radical Islamists, might be a good place to start. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s difficult to argue the decision was ‘just’. Begum has an inalienable right to a fair hearing before the courts which includes meaningful access to legal counsel. This ruling raises a barrier to her being able access legal counsel, it diminishes her ability to obtain a fair hearing before the court. I expect this will be central to the challenge she will raise against the process of her case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough media buzz for some names to take this pro-bono, and no doubt an NGO or two will chip in, if they haven't already. Since the Coronavirus became a thing, there are more and more legal and procedural issues carried out using various video conference software. This does run the risk of having to explain one is not a cat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she were white British she would be allowed back. Highly likely to face a long jail sentence if she does come back. It should never have been allowed to go to a British court. Should have been resolved in Syria. Its been done before with considerable success. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabra_and_Shatila_massacre Ring the camp with allied troups and send in the local militia guards on the promise of a few AR15s.
