新奇事件簿 ISIS新娘被剥夺英国公民身份

A 19-year-old woman who ran away from the U.K. to join ISIS has been stripped of her British citizenship¹. Shamima Begum left London in 2015 when she was 15 to live in the Islamic State. The U.K. said that anyone who joined ISIS was a terrorist² and had no right to a British passport. Ms Begum was found in a refugee³ camp in Syria earlier this week. British newspapers and TV stations interviewed her. She spoke⁴ of her desire to return to her home in London. She gave birth to her third child days after the interviews. Her first two babies died from malnutrition⁵. Shamima got married to an ISIS fighter several weeks after reaching Syria. She said she enjoyed life in the IS as a housewife.

离开英国加入ISIS的19岁女性已被剥夺英国公民身份。2015年15岁的Shamima Begum离开伦敦前往伊斯兰国居住。英国表示任何加入ISIS的人都是恐怖分子，且没权力拥有英国护照。本周早些时候， Begum女士被发现在一个叙利亚难民营中。英国纸媒和电视台采访了她。她表示自己想要回到伦敦的家中。采访结束几天后，她生了她的第三个孩子。她的头两个孩子都死于营养失调。Shamima在抵达叙利亚几周后便与一名ISIS战士结婚。她说她很享受在IS的家庭主妇生活。

Under international law, the U.K. cannot take away anyone's passport if that person becomes stateless. The U.K. said Ms Begum is a citizen of Bangladesh because her mother was born there. However, Bangladesh's ministry⁶ of foreign affairs said Ms Begum is not a Bangladeshi citizen. It said there is "no question" of her being allowed into the country. Bangladesh is "deeply concerned" that the U.K. has called her a Bangladeshi national. Ms Begum said she only has "one citizenship". She said: "I wasn't born in Bangladesh, I've never seen Bangladesh...so how can they claim I have Bangladeshi citizenship?" The U.K. said Ms Begum's baby could still be British.

根据国际法，如果这个人是无国籍状态，那么英国无法拿走任何人的护照。英国表示Begum女士是孟加拉国公民，因为她的母亲就是在那里出生的。但孟加拉外交部表示Begum女士不是孟加拉国公民。其表示“毫无疑问”，她可以加入本国。英国称她是孟加拉国国民，孟加拉对此表示“深切关心”。Begum女士表示她只有“一个公民身份”。她说到：“我不是在孟加拉出生的，我从未见过孟加拉...所以他们怎么能说我是孟加拉国公民呢？”英国表示Begum女士的孩子仍可是英国人。
