3:59Now PlayingTom Cheshire investigates how the UK’s use of citizenship stripping—especially targeting British Muslims who travelled to Syria—intersects with the evolving status of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a former jihadist group now acting as Syria’s de facto government.
He speaks to Tauqir “Tox” Sharif, an aid worker made stateless without trial, raising questions about due process and transparency.
As the UK government increases relations with HTS, Tom looks at whether those stripped of their citizenship in the past should have it reinstated.
