Maybe she's just grown up.
Shamima was smuggled in by WESTERN inteligence!

It’s based on a false argument.
By removing her citizenship, it left her without any citizenship and rendered her stateless.
The UK chose to do so on the basis she may be eligible to apply for Bangladeshi citizenship, not on the basis she would obtain it.….and if she can’t obtain it she is thus rendered stateless.
Lets not forget, this a person born in the the UK with sole, British citizenship.
I was under the impression you were going to explain how someone viewing videos in their own home on a personal computer was 'groomed' to become an ISIS comfort worker'.
In your own time.
She may have some of the best legal team on her side, but access to that team is still severely restricted to remote access or telephone access, as and when it can be arranged.
Visitors to the refugee camp, which is in Syria, are severely restricted.
The fraught issue of British ‘jihadis’

The removal of her citizenship may have been ruled on, but the issue is not yet finished:
Where Shamima Begum lives now after it emerged she was smuggled to Syria by spy
Shamima Begum was 15 when she fled the UK and joined the Islamic State group in 2015, along with friends Kadiza Sultana and Amira Abase

In February 2020, a tribunal ruled that removing Ms Begum's citizenship was lawful because she was "a citizen of Bangladesh by descent", so removing her British nationality wouldn't make her stateless. Bangladesh said that was not the case and she would not be allowed into the country
Shamima Begum has never been convicted of any criminal acts.
Sajid Javid was well aware that removing her citizenship would render her stateless.

You can't deprive someone of citizenship based on a possibility.
His decision was based purely on populist, media-induced frenzy.
I cant find any evidence that their was any effort made to establish if she was eligible for citizenship
So Bangladesh followed the British lead and made her stateless, how does that alter the British ruling?

No she had the ability to obtain Bangladeshi citizenship, not apply for it. She has a blood right sec 5, http://bdlaws.minlaw.gov.bd/act-242.html
Its states clearly that she is a citizen.
I'm sure they don't want her either. I'm sure they can list many Bangladeshi citizens they don't want as can we, with regards to British citizens. Her legal team don't want her to pursue this right (as I suspect is the case for her) because it weakens her case in the court of public opinion, not to mention the threat of prosecution and execution.
Its in the above act. It's very simple to understand, SIAC and the HS secured expert council. Unfortunately for Bangladesh it was a race to revoke. Had they revoked her rights before the Home Secretary did, he would not have been able to remove her citizenship. In fact it strengthens her ability to obtain Bangladeshi citizenship. They have no power to reject her within their law and to do so would make her stateless.
I make no comment as to if this was sneaky, morally wrong etc.. but it was not illegal. The Home Secretary did not make her stateless. Her legal team have exhausted all UK legal routes to challenge this. They are left with appealing the decision - effectively this is "oh please, go on, I promise to be good".
I would also add that being groomed and being trafficked are hugely different, legally. She did not leave the UK against her will. However at 15, I am certain she didn't know that her citizenship would be revoked. She clearly wasn't a particularly well rounded/educated person at the time, with access to parental guidance. She was just a girl (low value) in a Bangladeshi family, with a dislike for western culture, despite enjoying living here.

Let's not forget she renounced any British connection when she trotted off to join a Caliphate whose sole intent was destroying the UK and the west in general,
What kind of idiot could possibly want to let a person like that back into the UK society. FFS
Like all the other hordes of illegals scrambling to get here, she only wants to come back for the benefit cheque, and free stuff
Nah, she was smuggled in by aliens. It must right, I read it in the DM.
It's a different argument.
Bangladesh, like any other country has the right to refuse anyone citizenship. And just like any other country they cannot make anyone stateless.
Therefore they have the right to refuse Shamima a Bangladesh passport. If she already had citizenship, they would not have been able to deny her that citizenship.
UK cannot interpret another countries laws, and dictate how and when they should be applied. UK has no control over Bangladesh anymore.
Therefore UK acted on the possibility that she was entitled to another country's citizenship. They should have waited until she actually had that citizenship.
It was the only citizenship that she held at that time.
The whole reason why she is refused permission to enter UK is based on secret evidence that Sajid Javid had. And he does not want this 'secret' evidence tested in court.

As far as we aware, her only act getting anywhere near a terrorist act was that she saw a severed head in a bin.
No they didn't...
Under their laws she had to be registered in Bangladesh within a short period of time after her birth - 6/12 months...
Any parent of a dual national child should know of the different rules that apply country by country...
Maybe her parents couldn't care less or couldn't afford to do so at the time...
Some do care, and can afford to do so - so ours are protected from the nightmare called brexit!
But do you expect someone of that age to hop on a plane and do so just in case her country of citizenship decides to break international law many years later?
And remember if this is allowed to stand it could happen to anyone - including you!
