human rights<br \/>\norganizations revealed in a recent report that millions of Muslims in Britain<br \/>\nare facing the risk of losing their citizenship due to the significant<br \/>\nexpansion of powers granted to British authorities to revoke nationality.<\/span><span lang=\"AR-QA\" dir=\"RTL\" style=\"font-size:22.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:&quot;Sakkal Majalla&quot;;\nmso-bidi-language:AR-QA\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" dir=\"LTR\" style=\"text-align:justify;line-height:150%;\ndirection:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed\"><span style=\"font-size:22.0pt;line-height:\n150%;font-family:&quot;Sakkal Majalla&quot;;mso-bidi-language:AR-QA\">The report, prepared<br \/>\nby the UK-based Runnymede Trust, which focuses on combating racism and<br \/>\ninequality, together with the non-governmental organization Reprieve, stated<br \/>\nthat around 9 million people in the United Kingdom are legally at risk of<br \/>\nhaving their citizenship revoked, according to estimates issued by the British<br \/>\nHome Secretary.<\/span><span lang=\"AR-QA\" dir=\"RTL\" style=\"font-size:22.0pt;\nline-height:150%;font-family:&quot;Sakkal Majalla&quot;;mso-bidi-language:AR-QA\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" dir=\"LTR\" style=\"text-align:justify;line-height:150%;\ndirection:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed\"><span style=\"font-size:22.0pt;line-height:\n150%;font-family:&quot;Sakkal Majalla&quot;;mso-bidi-language:AR-QA\">The report explained<br \/>\nthat this figure represents approximately 13% of the country\u2019s total<br \/>\npopulation, noting that these powers are applied disproportionately to<br \/>\ncommunities with high Muslim population densities.<\/span><span lang=\"AR-QA\" dir=\"RTL\" style=\"font-size:22.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:&quot;Sakkal Majalla&quot;;\nmso-bidi-language:AR-QA\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" dir=\"LTR\" style=\"text-align:justify;line-height:150%;\ndirection:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed\"><span style=\"font-size:22.0pt;line-height:\n150%;font-family:&quot;Sakkal Majalla&quot;;mso-bidi-language:AR-QA\">The two<br \/>\norganizations confirmed that current practices have a greater impact on<br \/>\ncommunities of South Asian, Middle Eastern, and African descent, considering<br \/>\nthat these policies have turned into a \u201csystemic threat\u201d targeting Muslim<br \/>\ncommunities in Britain.<\/span><span lang=\"AR-QA\" dir=\"RTL\" style=\"font-size:22.0pt;\nline-height:150%;font-family:&quot;Sakkal Majalla&quot;;mso-bidi-language:AR-QA\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" dir=\"LTR\" style=\"text-align:justify;line-height:150%;\ndirection:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed\"><span style=\"font-size:22.0pt;line-height:\n150%;font-family:&quot;Sakkal Majalla&quot;;mso-bidi-language:AR-QA\">The report pointed<br \/>\nout that, under the laws currently in force, British citizenship can be revoked<br \/>\neven if an individual has no actual connection to another country, provided<br \/>\nthey are deemed legally eligible to obtain its nationality.<\/span><span lang=\"AR-QA\" dir=\"RTL\" style=\"font-size:22.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:&quot;Sakkal Majalla&quot;;\nmso-bidi-language:AR-QA\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" dir=\"LTR\" style=\"text-align:justify;line-height:150%;\ndirection:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed\"><span style=\"font-size:22.0pt;line-height:\n150%;font-family:&quot;Sakkal Majalla&quot;;mso-bidi-language:AR-QA\">It noted that<br \/>\nindividuals with ties to countries such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, Somalia, and<br \/>\nNigeria, in addition to regions of North Africa and the Middle East, are among<br \/>\nthe groups most vulnerable to this risk.<\/span><span lang=\"AR-QA\" dir=\"RTL\" style=\"font-size:22.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:&quot;Sakkal Majalla&quot;;\nmso-bidi-language:AR-QA\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" dir=\"LTR\" style=\"text-align:justify;line-height:150%;\ndirection:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed\"><span style=\"font-size:22.0pt;line-height:\n150%;font-family:&quot;Sakkal Majalla&quot;;mso-bidi-language:AR-QA\">According to the<br \/>\nreport, three out of every five non-white individuals are at risk of losing<br \/>\ntheir citizenship, compared to one out of every twenty among white Britons.<\/span><span lang=\"AR-QA\" dir=\"RTL\" style=\"font-size:22.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:&quot;Sakkal Majalla&quot;;\nmso-bidi-language:AR-QA\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" dir=\"LTR\" style=\"text-align:justify;line-height:150%;\ndirection:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed\"><span style=\"font-size:22.0pt;line-height:\n150%;font-family:&quot;Sakkal Majalla&quot;;mso-bidi-language:AR-QA\">The report also<br \/>\nrevealed that more than 200 people have been stripped of their British<br \/>\ncitizenship since 2010 on grounds related to the \u201cpublic interest,\u201d the vast<br \/>\nmajority of whom were Muslims.<\/span><span lang=\"AR-QA\" dir=\"RTL\" style=\"font-size:\n22.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:&quot;Sakkal Majalla&quot;;mso-bidi-language:AR-QA\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" dir=\"LTR\" style=\"text-align:justify;line-height:150%;\ndirection:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed\"><span style=\"font-size:22.0pt;line-height:\n150%;font-family:&quot;Sakkal Majalla&quot;;mso-bidi-language:AR-QA\">It further<br \/>\nhighlighted the Nationality and Borders Act passed in 2022, explaining that it<br \/>\ngrants authorities the right to revoke citizenship without prior notice.<\/span><span lang=\"AR-QA\" dir=\"RTL\" style=\"font-size:22.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:&quot;Sakkal Majalla&quot;;\nmso-bidi-language:AR-QA\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" dir=\"LTR\"

conclusion, the<br \/>\ntwo organizations called for an immediate halt to citizenship revocation<br \/>\nprocedures, the repeal of the relevant provision in British nationality law,<br \/>\nand the full restoration of rights to individuals whose citizenship was<br \/>\nwithdrawn under these powers.<\/span><span lang=\"AR-QA\" dir=\"RTL\"
