(National-UAE) The Court of Appeal will hear Shamima Begum’s legal fight over the decision to deprive her of her British citizenship next week.
The 24-year-old was stripped of her citizenship on national security grounds at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission, which she then appealed and lost.
Mr Justice Jay said at a ruling in February that while there was a “credible suspicion that Ms Begum was recruited, transferred and then harboured for the purpose of sexual exploitation,” this did not prevent then-home secretary Sajid Javid from removing her citizenship.
Following the decision, Ms Begum’s lawyers said they would be challenging the ruling and that the legal battle was “nowhere near over.”
