therefore unlikely that the government provides citizenship to children whose fathers are perceived as a threat to national security and who have been deprived of their citizenship. Thus, a person who has lost his Bahraini citizenship loses it also for his children who are born after his citizenship was revoked. Consequently, all the rights that he is deprived of, his children are also deprived of. In this way, citizenship revocations result in statelessness not only on an individual level, but also familial level. Conclusion Bahrain is an example of a country that denaturalise with no regard to that it may lead to statelessness for the affected individuals and their children. The authorities have instead expanded the legal frame to revoke citizenship of people and have increasingly deprived individuals of their citizenship since 2012. Opposition members, human rights activists and other dissidents have had their citizenship revoked. The increase is therefore largely seen in connection with the popular uprising that erupted in 2011 and the authorities’ attempt to crush it. People who are transferred from the position of citizens to stateless lose the basic rights of residence in their own homeland, of employment and of transferring citizenship to their own children. They also lose the right to movement and travel, to receive state-subsidised social benefits and to access free health care. These are the rights that were highlighted in this article, and there are certainly more that could be added. In sum, the examples from the Bahraini case of citizenship revocations reflect the significant decrease of rights that face denaturalised individuals along with their families.
