Watch moment Shamima Begum loses Court of Appeal bid to have UK citizenship restored
This is the moment Shamima Begum loses her challenge over the removal of her British citizenship at the Court of Appeal.
Ms Begum travelled to Syria in 2015 aged 15 and her citizenship was revoked on national security grounds shortly after she was found in a Syrian refugee camp in February 2019.
Last year, the now 24-year-old lost a challenge against the decision at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC), which said the removal of her citizenship was lawful.
Ms Begum’s lawyers brought a bid to overturn that decision at the Court of Appeal, with the Home Office opposing the challenge.
In a ruling on Friday (23 February), three judges dismissed Ms Begum’s bid.
