flecc... The argument about the law is threadbare .. as this Wiki indicates.
Bluntly your home secretary LIED in court. she does not have dual citizenship.
Legal difficulties[edit]
The main difficulty surrounding Begum's pursuit of citizenship in order to return to the United Kingdom is the contrasting interpretations and perspectives around making her
stateless (without citizenship in any country). Making citizens stateless is deemed unlawful according to both UK National Law (
British Nationality Act 1981 section 40
[35]) and UN international law (1961
Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness), of which the UK is a signatory. Shamima Begum was born a British citizen under UK law as her father (despite having already left the UK) had Indefinite Leave to Remain and so had the "settled in the United Kingdom" status that the 1981 Nationality Act Describes as being a satisfactory prerequisite to allow Begum to be born a British citizen
[36][37].
Chronology of Begum's pursuit of citizenship[edit]
On 15 April, it was reported that Begum had been granted
Legal Aid to fight the revocation of her British citizenship. Hunt described the
Legal Aid Agency's decision as "very uncomfortable", but said that the UK is "a country that believes that people with limited means should have access to the resources of the state if they want to challenge the decisions the state has made about them".

On 3 May, Bangladeshi foreign minister
Abdul Momen repeated their position on Begum but further added that if she entered Bangladesh she will face the
death penalty due to the nation's "zero tolerance policy" towards terrorism.

In August 2019, the
Metropolitan Police requested media organisations that had interviewed Begum—the BBC, ITN, Sky News and
The Times—to surrender any unpublished material they may hold about Begum. They seek disclosure under the
Terrorism Act 2000 in order to prepare potential prosecution.

Her lawyer, Tasnime Akunjee, has travelled to Kurdish occupied Syria to meet with Begum, but has been turned away.
[41]
On 16 July 2020, the
Court of Appeal ruled that Begum can return to the UK to contest the government's decision to rescind her British citizenship. It is currently unclear how she will return to the UK to plead her case, as the British government previously stated that they will never let her return.
