(BBC) Shamima Begum will not be allowed to challenge the removal of her British citizenship at the Supreme Court, judges have ruled.
The 24-year-old hoped to overturn the government’s decision to revoke her citizenship on national security grounds after she travelled to Syria as a teenager to join the Islamic State group.
Justices at the UK’s highest court said Ms Begum could not appeal against an earlier Court of Appeal ruling as the grounds of her case “do not raise an arguable point of law.”
It was Ms Begum’s last chance to challenge the revocation of her citizenship within the UK legal system. But her lawyers told the BBC they would take the case to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).
