  • Sufean Kamal, son of convicted preacher Abu Hamza, is contesting the loss of his British citizenship in a UK court.
  • His lawyers say the MI5 assessment that stripped his citizenship was inaccurate.

  • Kamal was intercepted in Istanbul in 2019, held for two years, and Turkish agents tried to deport him to Morocco, where his mother lives.
