Britain strips two more Daesh mothers of citizenship
Two more women from the UK who are being held in
Syrian camps with their young children have been stripped of their citizenship,
the BBC News reported on Sunday.
It comes after the death in a Syrian camp of the
baby son of Shamima Begum, who left London to join Islamic State and had her UK
citizenship revoked.
The Sunday Times quotes legal sources who name the
women as Reema Iqbal and her sister, Zara, from east London.
The Home Office said it did not comment on
individual cases.
Decisions to withdraw citizenship from individuals
were evidence-based and not taken lightly, it added.
The newspaper says that Reema, 30, and Zara, 28, are
living in separate refugee camps in Syria along with thousands of other families
who have fled from territory formerly controlled by jihadis.
Between them they have five boys under the age of
eight, it says.
