After Shamima Begum, two more ISIS brides have been stripped of British citizenship

While one of them is still preaching her innocence, claiming that she is not being treated fairly, her other sister has been left at another camp.

Two British women, 30-year-old Reema Iqbal and 28-year-old Zara Iqbal, have been reportedly stripped of their British citizenship, as they are being held in Syrian camps with their young children.

This case immediately follows that of the 19-year-old Londoner, Shamima Begum, whose citizenship was revoked on the order of Home Secretary Sajid Javid. As a result of this move, Javid himself has faced increasing criticism, which only grew after the death of Begum's three-week-old son, Jarrah. Stripping of a person's citizenship is considered legal only if the individual has a second one, and while authorities claim Begum had a Bangladeshi one owing to her family roots, the Bangladeshi officials have denied this. The row over Begum's citizenship continues.
