Teaser - PTO Extra! Shamima Begum and normalising citizenship revocation w/ Nisha Kapoor
Published 5 years, 4 months ago
Description
On Friday the UK's supreme court ruled against allowing Shamima Begum, the young British woman who in 2015 travelled to Syria to join ISIS, to return to the UK to contest the Home Office's removal of her citizenship. PTO spoke to Nisha Kapoor about the Supreme Court's decision, the question as to whether Begum was groomed by traffickers and we also talked about the dangerous precedent that the normalisation of citizenship revocation represents.
