Yes, she may say all the right things, but her husband is an IS fighter. I think also what she said of the two friends she went out with was very telling as to her state of mind. She shrugged off her pal's death and added she wasn't in touch with the other girl, and nonchalantly shrugged when asked if the girl was alive.
I think that there's more to it. I see her as a radicalised victim suffering from PTSD, as an internet shrink I can see that the tells are all there.
It doesn't feel right as a normal person on the omnibus.
If she was indeed brought here at 8 years of age and the family never naturalised, they may be on an Indefinite Leave to Remain, which means if she commits any crimes, the UK has the right to refuse her entrance back, or had she committed crimes here, it's the same rule. I believe even that applies to people who have taken the Right to Abode way. I doubt she knew this when she stole her sister's passport to leave the UK though.
For sure, I think the family came over on Bangladeshi passports, as they wouldn't have been able to change them to British until they had resided in this country for a certain length of time. It is very complicated, but there is also a 1981 ruling re Bangladeshis in this country - too long to go into.
So if the Home Office deems her as having broken the terms of her citizenship, they can send you back. It really depends on her immigration status...
Bangladesh is saying she doesn't have any claim to nationality there;
“The government of Bangladesh is deeply concerned that [Begum] has been erroneously identified as a holder of dual citizenship,” Shahrial Alam, state minister of foreign affairs, said in a statement issued to the Guardian, adding that his government had learned of Britain’s intention to cancel her citizenship rights from media reports.
“Bangladesh asserts that Ms Shamima Begum is not a Bangladeshi citizen. She is a British citizen by birth and never applied for dual nationality with Bangladesh … There is no question of her being allowed to enter into Bangladesh.”
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/201 ... says-javidIf that is correct, then I don't see how she can be stripped of her British citizenship, because doing so would make her stateless, and that's illegal under international law.
More from that article;
>The Foreign Office was understood to be in touch with the Bangladeshi high commission, but the FCO has stressed that decisions on Begum’s return were a matter for the Home Office. There is said to be some disquiet in ministerial circles that Bangladesh had not been consulted fully before the home secretary asserted she could claim Bangladeshi citizenship.
The FCO’s own website points out that Bangladesh is facing a fight to defeat terrorism, including from groups linked to Isis. Sources suggest that given this domestic fight against terrorism, it was never likely that Bangladesh would allow her in, regardless of the citizenship rights she was able to claim.<
Surely that rules out any likelihood that Bangladesh would accept her, no matter what Britain says or does.
