The first decree specified procedures for withdrawing the citizenship certificate from six persons and their dependents, based on the relevant article of the Amiri Decree issued in nineteen fifty-nine and its subsequent amendments. The second decree included stripping two hundred and eighty-six individuals of their citizenship along with their dependents, while the third decree stipulated its withdrawal from fourteen individuals. The subsequent decree resulted in revoking the legal status from twenty-five persons and their dependents, whereas the fifth decree targeted forty-one individuals and those who acquired it through dependency.
