How can you renege on citizenship when it's effectively your primary citizenship? I can't go to Australia and decide I'm not English anymore, so get to stay, they wouldn't let me even if I wanted to. She's not even Syrian, you can't just lose citizenship of your home country and then decide you're a citizen of Syria, a country in turmoil, which is effectively being invaded by ISIS.Yes but she reneged on her citizenship the moment she left the country and joined the other side.
Once you join the other side - especially an illegal terrorist group - you waive all rights that were assigned to you by the country of your birth.
I suppose the only person who could renege their citizenship, is the person, if they had a legal right to another citizenship which could replace it. But I suppose they would always have the right to de-renege it, and come back. People born here are always allowed back, just like ex-pats who move to Spain, or the tax dodgers in the Caymans.
Who is she a citizen of, if not the UK? Syria? Syria want ISIS about as much as we do.
What about the white lad in Thailand selling drugs, has he reneged his citizenship too then? He's left the UK, and working with the Thai underworld, lets just leave him to get the chair huh?
What about the white lads working in Saudi on the oil rigs or for their armed forces, they no longer British either?
