    Irrespective of her character or crimes I didn’t think it was allowed by UN convention to strip someone of their last citizenship. The article claims she is now stateless, which if true definitely contravenes my understanding of the conventions the UK have signed.

      Yeah, apparently if the British government think someone has Bangladeshi citizenship, then they have it, regardless of the Bangladeshi government’s opinion.

          Don’t worry, it’s only a “maybe” that they’ll be allowed to get away with this. There’s a decent chance they’ll be told in no uncertain terms just how illegal this is, and that’ll be that, and certainly won’t spark a media circus culminating in our leaving the ECHR.
