"Shamima Begum's Appeal Against UK Citizenship Removal Denied"

Shamima Begum, who joined the Islamic State group as a teenager, lost her appeal against the UK government's decision to revoke her citizenship. The Court of Appeal rejected all five arguments presented by Begum, stating that the deprivation decision was not unlawful. Despite the ruling, Begum can still take her case to the supreme court. Begum, who married an IS fighter and had three children, claimed she was left stateless by the UK government's decision, but a UK tribunal ruled that she was not stateless. She is one of hundreds of Europeans whose fate has challenged governments following the collapse of the Islamist extremists' self-styled caliphate in 2019.
