Prevent UK Government to Revoke Ethnic Minority British Citizenship

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The British Government has recently and quietly made changes to the 'Nationality and Borders' bill. Clause 9 of the bill - “Notice of decision to deprive a person of citizenship”, now exempts the Government from giving notice to an individual if they deem you are a national security threat.

The changes are draconian and offer an individual little to no chance to appeal. It is against international law to deprive a person of citizenship and inhumane not to allow one to appeal a decision made in their absence or knowledge. This practise is alien and frowned upon even by the UK's closest allies. An individual should be given enough time to make a legal challenge in a British court of law before any decision to revoke citizenship is made.
