Former Northern Ireland lord chief justice says UK wrong to strip Shamima Begum of citizenship

Sir Declan Morgan, the former lord chief justice of Northern Ireland, has stated that the UK was wrong to strip Shamima Begum of her citizenship. His comments were made at the launch of a new report from a commission he chairs, which criticizes UK counter-terrorism legislation. The report argues that the practice of citizenship deprivation disproportionately affects ethnic minorities and is inconsistent with human rights obligations. The commission's recommendations urge the repatriation of British nationals, including those with dual citizenship, from detention camps abroad.
