A decision is imminent
Shamima Begum is due to find out whether she has won an appeal against the decision to remove her British citizenship.
She has been locked in a legal battle with the Government ever since, recently challenging the Home Office at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission over the decision. Mr Justice Jay is now due to give the decision this morning . During a five-day hearing in November, Ms Begum’s lawyers said that the Home Office had a duty to investigate whether she was a victim of trafficking before stripping her of her British citizenship. The specialist tribunal heard said that she was “recruited, transported, transferred, harboured and received in Syria for the purposes of ‘sexual exploitation’ and ‘marriage’ to an adult male”.
