Maya Foa is the Director of Reprieve That ministers are prepared to do this to British kids shocks me every time I go there.It is also where Shamima Begum has been imprisoned without charge or trial for the past five years. Former Home Secretary Sajid Javid deprived her of British citizenship when she was 19 years old and mourning a third child, and she has been stuck there, stripped of all her rights, ever since.Yesterday a group of United Nations legal experts weighed in on her case.
