Hundreds of people have been stripped of their British citizenship in the last 15 years, according to research, including one man who was stateless for almost five years. The government does not routinely publish the total number of people it strips of British citizenship. In one case revealed by the Observer this week, a 40-year-old man, referred to only as E3, was stripped of his British citizenship in 2017. He was born in London to parents of Bangladeshi heritage, but had his citizenship removed when he flew to Bangladesh. His citizenship was reinstated after the Home Office accepted he is stateless as a result of having his British citizenship taken away from him.
