Re: Shamima Begum has UK citizenship revoked
She is not the first dual to go this way, and I do not see how her case is different.
I seem to remember most US Citizens do not have a US Passport, I have no idea if she has a current British Passport or it expired ditto her Bangladeshi Passport.
Also seems unclear where she was born.
The Baby may have a claim for Dutch Citizenship by the sound of it and I thought Dutch did not allow dual citizenship?
What a mess.

Her child would remain British and entitled to a British passport presuming she is actually able to register the birth with the Syrian government which seems unlikely. I suspect the Dutch won’t be taking any interest at all in the child.

"Before making an order under this section in respect of a person the Secretary of State must give the person written notice specifying—"
According to this article the letter:
"... asks her mother to pass on details of the order to her daughter, who is currently in a Syrian refugee camp without access to a phone".

I don't see how this is going to pass legal muster. A British official is going to have to serve her, not her mum. So something else for lawyers to latch onto.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Bangladesh preemptively washing their hands of her if she doesn't currently hold a Bangladeshi passport.
