ISIS schoolgirl Shamima Begum to lose UK citizenship, says family lawyerA British teenager who ran away to join Islamic State is set to lose her UK citizenship, the family’s lawyer has said. No one wants terrorists I hope it’s true. The UK should not have to let her back in. Hope she’s happy in Syria. Using the Western Legal system seems a bit hypocritical. Can't your almighty sharia law sort this out?

Bangladesh says IS teen not their citizen in dispute with UK | Sky News AustraliaThe UK government has risked a diplomatic rift with Bangladesh over the fate of Islamic State recruit Shamima Begum.\n\nThe Home Office has stripped the 19-year-old of her British citizenship to dash her hopes of returning to the UK to raise her baby son, who she recently gave birth to in Syrian refugee camp.\n\nAlthough he has not commented directly on the case, Home Secretary Sajid Javid seemed to confirm on Wednesday the government felt able to take such action because she is a dual national or has the right to citizenship elsewhere.\n\nUnder international law, it is illegal for a country to make someone stateless by removing their citizenship.\n\nShamima Begum is believed to be a dual British-Bangladeshi national, although her family's lawyer has said the UK-born teenager of Bangladeshi heritage has never had a Bangladeshi passport and is not a dual citizen.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n JaneMarwick Not 'Isis Bride'. Fully-fledged Isis Member. There's a very important difference. Never forget that. Stop trying to gussy-up terrorists. JaneMarwick She enjoyed the deserved amount of sympathy required. JaneMarwick Good news, setting an example, IS bride stripped of her UK citizenship.

Christmas Island is a 'clever' loophole: Kenny | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says if politicians who supported the medivac bill wanted to haul people to Australia for medical treatment and not Christmas Island, they should’ve ruled it out in the amendments.\n\nMr Kenny explains that while the island is part of Australia, it’s been excised from the nation’s migration area, which means people on its shores can’t appeal for asylum or access the legal system to press their claim.\n\nHis remarks come after independent MP Kerryn Phelps tweeted outrage over the government’s decision to send the sick to Christmas Island, describing it as a 'subversion of our entire model of representative democracy.'\n\nMr Kenny says the government found a clever way to adhere to the law they opposed.\n\n\n Who is this Chris man? Does he have any credibility...ah nope !!! And here I was being a cynic and thinking it was about medical care and not about getting into Aus 🤭
