Abstract
This research will investigate the growing insecurity of citizenship in the context of the War on Terror with a particular focus on different forms of citizenship removal and exclusion and their racial dimensions. In the post 9/11 context the use of extradition, citizenship deprivation and charter flight deportations have been promoted, assisted in part by changes to the law, yet little is known about the extent of these forms of removal; who it is that is being extradited, having their citizenship deprived and being deported en masse; what the conditions are in which these removals occur; and what the justifications are for their use. This research will attempt to address these issues.
Race, immigration and citizenship have always been deeply connected to each other but there have been stark changes in the context of the War on Terror which have intensified processes of removal in different ways. They have impacted disproportionately on Muslim and black and minority ethnic communities and have made it more difficult to access and make claims to rights of citizenship. Under the counter-terrorism agenda, revisions to law in 2003 have meant it has become easier to extradite individuals and initial analysis suggests the number of requests for extradition to the US have increased significantly since 2003. In this context, there have been a number of high profile cases whereby the protections of British citizenship, such as the possibility to respond to accusations in a UK court of law prior to removal, have been suspended. Political debates have ensued concerning who should have protections of British citizenship and who should not. Further amendments to nationality law mean it is also possible to deprive dual-nationals of their British citizenship if the Home Secretary makes a decision that their presence is 'not conducive to the public good'. More than 23 individuals have been stripped of their citizenship since 2003 and over 18 of these have been since 2010. These more severe measures of removal have also impacted on longstanding processes of deportation. In 2001 the Government began to use charter flights in order to ease and speed up the process of enforced removals. There have been charter flights to Afghanistan, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Ghana, Pakistan and Iraq, and between December 2012 and April 2013 972 individuals were removed in this way.
Against this background, the proposed research will conduct an investigation into the policies and processes of extradition, citizenship deprivation and mass deportation since 2001 examining the extent to which these processes are occurring, who they are happening to, what the racial dimensions of these processes are and what the narratives are which justify or contest these processes of removal. The findings will be brought together to assess what the implications are for the relationship between race and citizenship.
The research will include documentary analysis of policy literature and legal decisions; interviews with lawyers; analysis of statistical data obtained through freedom of information requests; case studies of individuals subject to extradition and citizenship deprivation which will include interviews with family members, and third sector organisations; and discourse analysis of parliamentary debates and media representations.
An advisory group made up of users will be consulted throughout the research project and subsequent dissemination activities. This is to ensure that the data collected is of use beyond the academy, and to ensure that the research has impact. Research outputs will include dissemination to practitioners (through a one-day workshop, and a 15-page research report), dissemination to the general public (through newspaper coverage, commentary pieces in popular press, a report, a project website and blog), and academic dissemination (through conference presentations, journal articles, and a research monograph in hard copy and digital format).

Planned Impact
This research project will draw on the expertise of an advisory group throughout the process from research design to dissemination. Representatives will include Paul Wiles (visiting Professor of Criminology at the University of Oxford and former scientific advisor to the Home Office), Ian Macdonald QC (leading barrister in immigration, race relations law), a senior representative from Leigh Day law firm, Asim Qureshi (Research Director at Cage Prisoners), a representative from the Home Office, and a representative from Liberty, who will assist with access to key interviewees and help promote the dissemination and impact. This will ensure a commitment to research that is of interest and use to non-academics. Overall the findings of this research will be of significant interest to all interested in equality, human rights and the state of citizenship in Britain. Interested parties will include, but will not be limited to:
(1) Human Rights and Immigration Lawyers
(2) Third Sector organisations such as Liberty, Cage Prisoners, Migrant Rights Network, Runnymede Trust, Institute for Race Relations
(3) The Home Office
(4) The Equality and Human Rights Commission and the Government Equalities Office
(5) Thinktanks working on immigration and citizenship
(6) Families and communities who have had direct involvement with citizenship deprivation, extradition and mass deportation
(7) The national media including the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, The Guardian, The Independent
(8) General Public
The research has clear relevance for these parties because of their investments in issues concerning citizenship, equality and human rights. In the case of lawyers and third-sector organisations, their interest is in ascertaining the extent to which these processes of removal are occurring in order to gain an overview of the situation beyond the cases in which they are directly involved. In respect to the Home Office and the equality bodies, the research will be of direct interest to their respective policy agendas concerning citizenship, equality and human rights. Thinktanks working on immigration and citizenship will be interested in learning more about the details of particular forms of removal and how they inform and impact upon processes of immigration as a whole; families and individuals affected will have an interest in raising awareness of these issues; and the national media and general public will respond to the high public interest in the research.
As detailed in the Pathway to Impact attachment, findings will be disseminated to these non-academic respondents through various channels including a one-day workshop, and 15-page research report. It is anticipated that the workshop will promote important discussion between lawyers, third sector organisations, Home Office and government officials and representatives from equality bodies, and will lead to a series of agreed 'next steps' which all participants will commit to act upon. The findings report will also inform future campaigns by organisations such as Liberty, Cage Prisoners and Migrants' Rights Network. In this respect, it is anticipated that the results of this research will have an impact beyond the academy.
The research findings will be further disseminated to the general public and participants through a project website and blog, press releases to the national media, commentary articles on the issues of citizenship and removal published in a range of outlets, and an overview report accessible for non-specialists. In this manner, the research findings will be used to promote awareness concerning the extent of citizenship removal and exclusion and prompt debate with regards to the implications of these changes to policy for citizenship as a whole. Academic dissemination will also be communicated to the general public through a separate portal on the project website which will link to publications associated with the project.

| Description | The key findings of the research indicate that the policing strategies and techniques that have been employed against individuals suspected of engaging in terrorism-related activities through the domestic war on terror has involved a significant enhancement of authoritarian practices that both lead to the criminalisation of Muslims who are denied due process, but also leads to the wider implementation of such techniques. We have found that there has been an enhancement and escalation of the use of secret evidence in immigration, other administrative and now criminal proceedings, so individuals accused of terrorism-related offences are often not privy to the evidence against them. This procedure has now also been used in non-terrorism-related cases. We have found that citizenship deprivation and/or the deformation of citizenship (such as passport removals) is often used as a substitute for criminal proceedings. Since citizenship deprivation orders and passport removals are orders granted by the Home Secretary they do not need to be scrutinised by an independent judiciary and these measures are usually used pre-emptively. We also found that terrorism cases have been used to justify a move away from the European Court of Human Rights which also means the British Government's military interventions overseas will not be subject to supra-national judicial scrutiny as they have been in the past. |
| Exploitation Route | The research will be of use to human rights lawyers and human rights organisations, a number of whom have already expressed interest in the research and are eagre to meet for further discussions. Over the last year I have met with lawyers, policy and advocacy staff in the UK, Europe and the US, including: UK- Liberty, York Amnesty, Just Yorkshire, Scotland Against Criminalising Communities, MEND (Muslim Engagement and Development), Islamic Human Rights Commission, Institute for Race Relations, Greater Manchester Law Society, Garden Court Chambers, Birnberg Peirce. USA- Center for Constitutional Rights, CLEAR (CUNY Law School) France- Justice and Liberties For All Committee (Paris) A number of Human Rights organisations have expressed interest in integrating the key findings from the research project into their broader human rights agendas and centring the impact of counterterrorism legislation and policy on human rights. I have collaborated with other scholars in the UK and US working on Islamophobia and securitisation to draft an alternative security/ counterterrorism policy with the aim that some of our recommendations may be taken up by the shadow government. The monograph produced from the project has been used to inform the script of a play 'Cuts of the Cloth' written by Hafsah Aneela Bashir and directed by Nikki Mailer. The play will be screening in the UK through 2019. |

| Description | The key findings from the grant have been used and engaged with by a range of different stakeholders in multiple ways. The key findings of the research have been reported through a number of different formats- a monograph titled Deport Deprive Extradite, which sold 1000 copies in the first three months; a website www.dde.org.uk which reports the key findings and case studies from the project and hosts multiple resources from the project for visitors to engage with; and two short films, The Eyes of Aliyah and Aaden and the Spiders, both available online through the website and which detail the stories of some of the interviewees from the project. Producing the findings of the research in this way has aided the achievement of impact beyond the academy, which has been realised in a number of ways. The research findings were read, via my monograph and website, by colleagues at Liberty, who invited me to talk to all Liberty staff at their London office in more detail with them about the research, the broader human rights concerns around the counterterrorism agenda and the impact on Muslim communities. I also talked about the key findings and screened the films with colleagues at local and national human rights and race equality organisations including York Amnesty, Just Yorkshire, Scotland Against Criminalising Communities, MEND (Muslim Engagement and Development), and the Islamic Human Rights Commission. These events involved engagement and dialogue with third sector professionals and public audiences. Further knowledge exchange events and conferences were held with lawyers from Birnberg Pierce and Garden Court Chambers where human rights lawyers acknowledged the importance of the research and indicated that the findings might help them prepare facts for future cases. I have also engaged with artists and community activists in the UK. My monograph was used to help inform the script of a play titles 'Cuts of the Cloth' written by Hafsah Aneela Bashir and directed by Nikki Mailer. The play will be screening across the UK throughout 2019. In addition, the project and research findings inspired the curation of an event at Rich Mix London in September 2018, where poets, artists, film makers and community and race equality organisations, including the Institute for Race Relations, came together to discuss the significance of the themes of the project. Subsequent to this I have been asked to do a podcast with Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan in March 2019, a poet and artist, who is interested to explore these issues further. In France, the Justice and Civil Liberties Committee based in Paris held an event around the themes of the book in October 2018 engaging with a number of Paris-based community organisations, policy makers and activists. The work may inform future policy briefings they produce. The research findings have also been engaged with by the Centre for Constitutional Rights in the USA who participated in an event promoting my monograph and a film screening in New York in April 2018. We are in dialogue about holding future events and the possibilities for future collaboration. |

| Results and Impact | The event was intended as a public engagement event and involved a collaborative effort between the researchers for the project and four poets and spoken word artists who responded to the themes that the research project is trying to showcase - deportation, extradition, citizenship deprivation - in their own words. The poets were invited to respond to issues around racism, rights and resistance. The event allowed for some of the key research themes to be expressed in an accessible format reaching a wider non-academic audience (approximately 30 people attended in person). The event also included a live Twitter stream and was videoed and subsequently uploaded onto Youtube (the video has had 158 views thus far). Most of the attendees expressed an interest in keeping informed of the project and finding out more and a public engagement email list was created as a result. |
