UK: Millions of British Muslims could lose citizenship, warns new report

A new report warns that millions of British Muslims and other citizens are at risk of losing their UK citizenship due to 'extreme and secretive' government powers. Research by the Runnymede Trust and Reprieve found that nine million people, disproportionately those with heritage from South Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, could have their citizenship stripped at the home secretary's discretion. Under current law, the government can remove nationality if it believes a person is eligible for citizenship in another country, even without a direct connection. Campaigners argue this creates a racialised hierarchy of citizenship and draws parallels to the Windrush scandal.
