The ZF has launched a
campaign calling on the EU and the UK Government to proscribe the Iranian
Revolutionary Guards (IRG) as a terrorist organisation.
We are calling on the EU and
the UK to proscribe the IRG as a
terrorist organisation due to it being a leader in state sponsored terrorism.
The IRG has also been active in sponsoring and supporting terrorism including in
Europe, as well as targeting the UK , through attacks on UK soldiers. It is also a
major funder and trainer of international terrorist groups including Hezbollah
and Hamas, making it a major protagonist in global terrorism.
Paul Charney, Chairman of the
ZF said, “The EU and the UK must take practical steps
to deal with international terrorism. By proscribing the IRG, it would be
showing its commitment to fighting terrorism and protecting the security of EU
citizens”.
The ZF and all its
UK members
will continue to campaign for the EU and the UK to take a stand against
international terrorism.
