Britain to strip IS teen of citizenship: lawyer 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseBritain will strip citizenship from a UK teenager who joined the Islamic State group in Syria but now wants to return home with her newborn baby, a lawyer for her family said Tuesday. Britain’s Home Office reportedly believes that Begum, who is of Bangladeshi heritage, is entitled to claim citizenship there. Trump had called on Britain, France, Germany and other European allies “to take back over 800 IS fighters that we captured in Syria and put them on trial”. Prime Minister Theresa May’s spokesman said the fighters should instead face justice in places where they committed their crimes.
