The news has been ablaze with attempts of the celebrity and Media Class to ensure the return of Shamima Begum but the other day the Home Secretary revoked her British citizenship in a move only permissible under international law if it does not leave the individual stateless.
However The Telegraph understands Begum has inherited Bangladeshi dual nationality through her parents, but the country’s minister of state for foreign affairs Shahriar Alam denied this on Wednesday, saying she was “nothing to do with Bangladesh”.
This would mean that what Javid has done is Illegal under international law. Javid has also provoked consternation by saying that the UK has a duty to look after Begum’s new baby Jerah which means ‘one who wounds’ and is after a mass murderer. Begum has also shown no contrition or remorse for what ISIS did.
Javid told Peston today in a far softer tone:
I’m not aware of any Home Secretary in any party in any previous government that has taken a decision that would leave anyone stateless.
I’m not going to talk about an individual, but I can be clear on the point that I would not take a decision and I believe none of my predecessors ever have taken a decision that at the point the decision is taken would leave that individual stateless.
Let’s say they are in the UK and they radicalise others and groom others, they carry out a terrorist attack themselves or incite others to do that.
What about the danger and the risk to the country of that? What about the impact on community cohesion if people come back to the country and use their presence here to try and racialize others? I have to weigh that up too.”
Bangladesh’s foreign minister replied and said: “The Government of Bangladesh is deeply concerned that she has been erroneously identified as a holder of dual citizenship shared with Bangladesh alongside her birthplace, the United Kingdom.
Bangladesh asserts that Shamima Begum is not a Bangladeshi citizen. She is a British citizen by birth and has never applied for dual nationality with Bangladesh.
It may also be mentioned that she never visited Bangladesh in the past despite her parental lineage. So, there is no question of her being allowed to enter into Bangladesh.”
