15 janv. 2024 - Home Office Names Hizb ut-Tahrir as a Terrorist Organisation

Description:

One of the most controversial Islamist groups in the UK, Hizb ut-Tahrir, is to be banned as a terrorist organisation, accused of praising the Hamas attacks.

Home Secretary James Cleverly said the group was "antisemitic" and "actively promotes and encourages terrorism".

The ban under UK terrorism laws comes after followers were accused of chanting "jihad" at a pro-Gaza rally.

It is an international organisation long active in the UK but it has always denied links to violence.

The banning order was laid before Parliament on Monday and will come into force on Friday, unless it is voted down.
