LONDON: A “racist two-tier system” is resulting in the UK stripping British Muslims of citizenship at record rates, a new report has found.
Published by the Runnymede Trust and Reprieve, the report found that the UK is the only G20 country to strip citizenship en masse, having done so more than 200 times since 2010.
This has taken place on the grounds of “public good,” and has mainly targeted those now detained in Syrian detention centers following the collapse of Daesh.
Compared to Britain, the French government only resorted to the citizenship-stripping measure 16 times between 2002 and 2020.
The report condemned the “secretive” system that allows Britons with dual nationality, or naturalized citizens, to be deprived of their citizenship.
