British Muslims’ citizenship reduced to ‘second-class’ status, says thinktank

Recently extended powers to strip people of their nationality almost exclusively targets Muslims, report says

British Muslims have had their citizenship reduced to “second-class” status as a result of recently extended powers to strip people of their nationality, a thinktank has claimed.

The Institute of Race Relations (IRR) says the targets of such powers are almost exclusively Muslims, mostly of south Asian heritage, embedding discrimination and creating a lesser form of citizenship.
