Denmark passes law to strip jihadists of nationality
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDenmark’s parliament passes a controversial law allowing the government to strip dual-national suspected jihadists of their citizenship to stop them from returning to Danish soil.
The law is primarily designed to target Danes fighting for the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq.
It enables the government to revoke the citizenship of dual nationals while they are abroad, even without a court ruling — which previously was a requirement.
After recent developments with Turkey’s offensive into Syria, the bill was rushed through parliament.
