COPENHAGEN: Two dual Danish nationals who joined the Islamic State group in Syria have been stripped of their citizenship under a new law applied for the first time, Denmark´s government said Tuesday. The legislation enables the government to revoke the Danish citizenship of dual-national foreign fighters while they are abroad, even without a court ruling — which previously was a requirement. “Two decisions have been made about revocation of citizenship due to a conduct seriously prejudicial to the vital interests of the state,” the immigration and integration ministry told AFP in a written statement. This is the first time the law has been applied since it was adopted in late October.
