Shamima Begum's lawyers consider taking her case to the ECHR after UK Supreme Court denies appeal against citizenship removal.

Shamima Begum's lawyers are considering taking her case to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) after the UK Supreme Court denied her permission to appeal the removal of her British citizenship. Begum, who left the UK to join ISIS in 2015, had her citizenship revoked in 2019 on national security grounds. The UK's highest court ruled her proposed appeal grounds "do not raise an arguable point of law." Begum's lawyers at Birnberg Pierce Solicitors stated they "will take every possible legal step" for Begum, including a petition to Strasbourg.
