An extremist group which organised a pro-Palestine protest in which attendees chanted “jihad” is to be banned in Britain for allegedly promoting Hamas, James Cleverly has announced.
Hizb ut-Tahrir will join a list of more than 50 proscribed organisations which includes the Islamic State group, Al Qaeda, Hamas and the Russian Wagner mercenaries.
The move means it becomes an offence to be a member of the group or to support it and carries a maximum jail sentence of up to 14 years and/or fine of up to £5,000 for doing so.
A small North American footprint but nuisance enough to be banned in multiple nations.
