4. Conclusion After analyzing the names of most individuals who had their citizenship revoked, the researcher determined that they had a common similarity in that they have activism in media, human rights, political activities, and government criticism. Thus, the Bahraini government’s motivations are intimidation, persecution, and repression. This report aimed to provide a social and anthropological aspect of the consequences of revoking nationalities or those born stateless in Bahrain. The report emphasized that being born stateless has strongly affected how they identify their identity, existence, and belonging in their community. The absence of Nationality has resulted in their status being unrecognized and has affected their dignity. The stateless individuals interviewed in this report define nationality as safety, security, dignity, respect, and being recognized by a state. The individuals whose nationality was revoked by the King of Bahrain or the Court feel they belong to Bahrain, and they did not defend their identity as they believe that their roots in Bahrain are more than 600 years old and arbitrary and political decisions cannot influence their identity. This report concluded that customs and traditions represent identity, and the citizenship rights that were arbitrarily revoked did not affect or harm that identity. This report concluded that the revocation of nationalities doesn’t have any influence on identity because it is connected to the roots that bind these individuals to Bahrain. The report concluded that the practice of revocation of nationality and deprivation of some individuals of their nationality has a political and religious discriminatory motivation. To sum up, this report found that being born stateless significantly impacts their identity and belonging. Still, persons whose nationalities were revoked for political reasons have a modest negative effect on defining their identity or belonging. 10
