newspaper mockup Shamima Begum stripped of UK citizenship - but can she win appeal against decision? | ITV News

Islamic State schoolgirl Shamima Begum has had her British citizenship revoked, her family has been told in a letter from the Home Office.

The letter, obtained by ITV News, was received by Ms Begum's mother on Tuesday.

"Please find enclosed papers that relate to a decision taken by the Home Secretary, to deprive your daughter, Shamima Begum, of her British citizenship," the letter read.

"In light of the circumstances of your daughter, the notice of the Home Secretary's decision has been served of file today (19th February), and the order removing her British citizenship has subsequently been made."

The letter went on to urge Ms Begum's family to make her aware of the decision, and added that she had a right to appeal.

What can Shamima Begum do now?

According to Lawyer Joshua Rozenberg, Ms Begum can appeal to a court called the Special Immigration Appeals Commission.

"There have been cases that have gone through and people have been able to show that they would be entitled to foreign nationality, indeed Bangladeshi nationality," he said.

"In that case they can't be deprived of their British citizenship so we can expect a battle to come."
