America doesn't care about harming its citizens.
It allows free access to guns, it allows its people to become hooked on opioids and it has almost 1% of its population in jail.
Guantanamo is about revenge not protection.

Not if it saves lives.
Its purpose is not to save lives.
It's more likely it has increased terrorist acts
There's no evidence the prisoners in it are actually terrorists.

The Supreme Court has ruled she can't come back to UK to fight her citizenship case. for now
Correct. The court has ruled that she can fight her case, if there is a way for her to fight it. But she cannot return to UK to do so. And she cannot leave the camp to do so, because without any citizenship, there is nowhere for her to go.
But the refugees camp will not allow access for her lawyers, and the court does not provide a means for her to fight her case. So she is effectively denied the opportunity to present her case.
Lord Reed said the appropriate answer was not to force the government to bring Ms Begum back to the UK - but to pause her legal fight over citizenship until she is in a safer position to take part in her appeal.

In addition, the court does not, and cannot overrule the assessment of the government, about whether she is a risk to national security, because they cannot see the information that the government has. Unless there is overwhelming evidence to refute the government's assessment, and that cannot be presented because SB is denied the opportunity to do so.https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-56209007
Moreover, the government's assessed risk is limited to general statements such as, "she has aligned herself to ISIS." There has been no credible threat mentioned by the government as to the risk posed by SB.

It's a legal limbo.
She can't return to fight her case. See preceding comments, means she can't fight her case.
If she could, and she won her case, or UK government lost, which is a more appropriate description, she would retain her citizenship and could return.
It all rather indicates that the government would lose, and therefore desperately want to avoid such a case in court.

There have been more than 373 cases since 2006, but the UK government refuse to release the data for the last couple of years.
Arbitrary creation of statelessness is prohibited.
“Arbitrary deprivation of nationality”, which means deliberately moving to make a citizen stateless, is prohibited under these instruments.
Article 15 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is particularly explicit on this point.
https://eachother.org.uk/shamima-be...onality”,,particularly explicit on this point.
The UK government Home Secretary arbitrarily deprived SB of her citizenship, which rendered her stateless. He did so on the basis that she is entitled to another citizenship of another country That country has denied her successful application, if she ever applied. The UNHCR convention allows states to refuse an application for citizenship. Therefore there is no obligation for any other state to grant SB citizenship.https://eachother.org.uk/shamima-be...onality”,,particularly explicit on this point.
Furthermore, the same UNHCR convention states that procedures must be accessible. In the SB case, she is effectively being denied, access to UK procedures. The UK Supreme Court has set a dangerous precedent in denying access to procedures.
(2) Access to procedures 68. For procedures to be fair and efficient, access to them must be ensured.
and(3) Procedural guarantees 71. Statelessness determination procedures should be formalized in law. Establishing procedures through legislation ensures fairness, transparency and clarity. Procedural guarantees are fundamental elements of statelessness determination procedures.

How is your comment remotely relevant to the thread subject?
You have a peculiar habit of making completely irrelevant comments in most threads.
Sort yourself out.
If you want to discuss 'Living in France', start a new thread. But there are already many social media sites dedicated to that very subject.
If there is no evidence that they are actually terrorists, why lock them up in the first place.
I agree that on occasion they lock up the wrong people.
Every case should be judged on its own merits.

Let me spin that around and say the poster to whom you refer is clearly anti UK. A fact proven by several anti UK posts in various usernames in various threads therefore best just to ignore as I now do.
The main reason for the increased threat from Islamic terrorism is because the Western nations and America in particular have fanned the flames of Islamic fundamentalism for their own geopolitical ends.
The virus of fundamentalism has now spread across the globe and those countries that helped create it are fighting a battle to contain it.

Spin it whichever way you want, it's still irrelevant nonsense.
Do you criticise UK government policies, or the opposition? Does that make you anti-UK?
Or is it because I live in France you consider I'm anti-UK? Or because I criticise UK government policies and decisions that you think I'm anti-UK?
Just what is it that gives rise to your suspicion that I am anti-UK? You may refer to any of my posts to illustrate your opinion.
And you're not ignoring, as you've so obviously commented on my previous comments.

If there was evidence they would charge them.
In interviews spanning more than a year, Ms Begum - who was stripped of British citizenship as a national security risk - revealed that she was fed detailed instructions by IS members, but also undertook her own planning for the journey in 2015.
Giving her first full account of her flight to Syria, she told the BBC podcast The Shamima Begum Story that she had been "relieved" to make it out of the UK and said that when she left, she expected never to return.
@BBCnews
Her defence of being trafficked appears to be undermined with these interviews. Silly girl.
