Media Advisory: Information Tribunal hearing over refusal to reveal numbers of women and parents stripped of citizenship

26th April 2023

Human rights research group Rights Security International (RSI) has a hearing in the Information Tribunal on Wednesday 26 and Thursday 27 April over its Freedom of Information (FOI) request about the number of formerly British women and parents who were deprived of their citizenship in 2019-2020, and how many children have been affected.

The Home Office refused the request in March 2021 after it had refused several other similar requests dating back to 2019.

The Information Tribunal challenge is being brought against the Information Commissioner and the Home Office.

The FOI request by RSI seeks information about the number of women who were deprived of their citizenship in 2019-2020
