Review the laws governing the removal of UK citizenship
Amend the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 and the Immigration Act 2014
The judgement of the Supreme Court in the case of Begum v Home Secretary [2021] UKSC 7 has made clear the following:
1) That the Home Secretary has the legal authority to deprive a person of their UK citizenship; while also having the legal authority to prevent them from effectively appealing this decision- by revoking their right to re-enter the country. They can, therefore, effectively grant themselves de facto immunity from legal challenges.
2) That a 'two-tier' system of justice now exists whereby UK citizens who may qualify for citizenship of another country are subject to a potential additional punishment- removal of citizenship- that other UK citizens are not.
We ask that the government legislate to resolve these issues.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about existing laws regarding the removal of citizenship and entry to the UK, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what changes you would like the Government to make to existing laws.
