'something they don't like'- shameless, unrepentant treason. Being a bit coy aren't we?
If Begum is guilty of treason then put her on trial on it. Removing the citizenship of someone born here and stranding them in a prisoner of war camp with no recourse to appeal and no access to a fair hearing is not just, regardless of what someone has done.

They can't unless they can argue that person has or is entitled to claim another nationality.
They did it anyway solely based on the belief that Begum was entitled to claim Bangladeshi citizenship, which she isn't.
