From the article ......According to the information currently available, Ms Begum was born in the UK, at least one of her parents is a Bangladeshi citizen by birth. Therefore, according to Section 5 of the Citizenship Act 1951 and Rule 9 of the Bangladesh Citizenship Rules 1952 , Ms Begum is ‘a citizen of Bangladesh by descent’. Her citizenship is not contingent upon whether she holds a Bangladeshi passport or any other proof of citizenship or whether she has submitted any application for the same, or whether she has ever visited Bangladesh. It is evident from the provisions above that holding a passport or a proof of citizenship or applying for the same or even visiting

And ....Section 5 of the Citizenship Act 1951 states that, a person born outside Bangladesh ‘shall be a citizen of Bangladesh by descent’ if either of his or her parents is a citizen of Bangladesh at the time of his or her birth. Additionally, if both the parents are only citizens of Bangladesh by descent then the birth of their child must be registered at the Bangladesh Consulate or Mission in that country in order for the child to claim Bangladeshi citizenship.
 
No need to be rude though.

You could have said all you did without recourse to rudeness.

Bangladeshi citizenship rules do not oblige the government to grant a passport to any applicant.
SB has not made any application, does not want to make an application, and Bangladesh have already stated that they would not approve any application.
Therefore your thread title is blatantly incorrect. And your arguments are invalid.

SB is a British citizen by birth. Now if UK can deprive her of her citizenship, which she already holds, it should be absolutely obvious to even the most stupid of people, that a country can deny her citizenship, which she does not currently hold, if they so choose.

She has indicated, apparently that she might or could apply for Dutch citizenship, as she was married to a Dutch citizen. However, that marriage was illegal under Dutch law as she was underage, and therefore could not legally marry anyone.

Currently, she had only one citizenship, that of British, she was deprived of that, making her stateless, and under UK, and international law, that is illegal.
The UK case rests on the argument that she is entitled to another citizenship of another country, but if that country refuses her citizenship, the UK's arguments is baseless, and they have broken their own law, and international law.

And stopped her bombing UK citizens.
 
There is another twist to the saga.
Bangladesh operates a capital punishment.
Now if SB is forced to go to Bangladesh, and if she is charged with crimes (that UK have already decided that she is a security risk in UK, but cannot prove it), and if she is convicted, bearing in mind that UK courts are supposed to be the best in the world, then she will be executed.

Clearly this yet another violation of UK's own policies.
UK desires to present it self on the world stage, as having a fair and equitable justice system. Evidently, the reality is very different.
