(Dhaka Tribune) British citizen Shamima Begum, who left the United Kingdom at the age of 15 to join the Islamic State (IS), will not be allowed to enter Bangladesh, the Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday.
At the same time, it reiterated that she was never a citizen of Bangladesh.
In February 2019, the then-British home secretary Sajid Javid revoked her citizenship for her action.
He used a clause in the related law that empowers the home secretary to cancel the citizenship of a British national if he or she does not become stateless.
In this case, he argued that Shamima would not be stateless as her parents were born in Bangladesh.
