"Please find enclosed papers that relate to a decision taken by the Home Secretary, to deprive your daughter, Shamima Begum, of her British citizenship," the letter read. After being found while heavily pregnant in Syria’s al-Hawl refugee camp last week, Shamima told ITV reporters that she did not regret joining the caliphate. "In order to protect this country, he has the power to deprive someone of their British citizenship where it would not render them stateless. Shamima earlier told the BBC that she did not have a Bangladeshi passport and had never been to the country. As for her newborn, he is presumably entitled to British citizenship because he was born to a British parent before the decision was taken.
