Abdallah A., a Nonperson Because of His Instagram Posts

Abdallah A. lived in Germany since he was two months old and last year gained German citizenship. But now he’s been stripped of it because of pro-Palestinian Instagram posts, in a disturbing legal case that points to the rise of citizenship-on-probation.

"The Convergence of Two Sins:
These two events, (1) the myth of #statelessness and (2) the #immunity from legal liability, fed each other.

A Bajau family in Labuan lost their citizenship over old registration issues, leaving them stateless despite growing up here. Yet seven foreign-born “heritage” players accused of forged documents were fast-tracked into citizenship.

The family has lost access to aid, work, and even schooling for a child marked “belum ditentukan.”

This is statelessness in Malaysia: people who belong here treated like outsiders.
