Britain adds all of Hezbollah to list of terrorist organizations

Britain’s finance ministry adds entire Hezbollah organization, including military wing, to its list of terrorist groups.

 

Britain’s finance ministry on Friday announced it had added the entire Hezbollah organization to its list of terrorist groups subject to asset freezing, AFP reports.

 

The ministry previously only targeted the Lebanese Shiite organization’s military wing but has now listed the whole group after the government designated it a terrorist organization last March.

 

The change requires any individual or institution in Britain with accounts or financial services connected to Hezbollah to suspend them or face prosecution.

 

The group had “publicly denied a distinction between its military and political wings,” the Treasury said in a notice posted on its website and quoted by AFP.

 

“The group in its entirety is assessed to be concerned in terrorism and was proscribed as a terrorist organization in the UK in March 2019,” it added.

 

“This listing includes the Military Wing, the Jihad Council and all units reporting to it, including the External Security Organization.”
