"The UK is stripping Britons of their citizenship in a racist two-tier system, according to a damning new report that reveals that Britain is the only G20 country to do so en masse. Since 2010, citizenship has been revoked from more than 200 people on the grounds of public good a total surpassed only by Bahrain and Nicaragua according to the report, which was produced by the Runnymede Trust and Reprieve."
"The secretive system allows for Britons with dual nationality, or any naturalised Briton, to be deprived of their citizenship with little access to the evidence or any requirement for the government to inform them, the report said. A large number like the most high-profile case, Shamima Begum, who UN experts believe was trafficked by Isis as a child are languishing indefinitely in detention centres in Syria, yet to face charge or trial."
The Independent funds reporters to cover developing US stories including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and solicits donations to maintain on-the-ground journalism without paywalls. The outlet emphasizes free access to quality reporting funded by supporters who can afford it. In the UK, over 200 people have had citizenship revoked since 2010 on public-good grounds, a total exceeded only by Bahrain and Nicaragua. The practice disproportionately affects dual nationals and naturalised Britons through a secretive system with limited access to evidence or notification. Many affected individuals remain detained abroad without charge or trial, and vague laws risk leaving millions vulnerable.
