Recent
research carried out by the ZF, as part of our campaign calling on the EU and UK
Government to proscribe the IRG (Iranian Revolutionary Guards) as a terrorist
group shows definitive proof that the IRG has been active in Syria ,
defending the brutal and murderous Syrian regime of Bashar Al Assad. You can
read our 'IRG in Syria' briefing sheet research here.
The IRG
have been providing fighters, weapons and training to the Assad regime and the
Iranian proxy terrorist organisation created by the IRG in the 1980s, Hezbollah.
This has played a major role in the massacres Assad has carried out against his
own people during a bloody civil war and has also led to Assad using groups like
the IRG and Hezbollah to attack Israel .
The EU and UK
must proscribe the IRG as a terrorist organisation. This would weaken the
chances of Syria becoming a place for
Iran to launch terror
attacks on the UK , other EU nations and
Israel .
If the EU and UK
did this they would be protecting the security of its citizens, standing up to
terrorism and choking off funding to the IRG, its supporters and the terrorist
groups it aids.
Chairman of the ZF, Paul Charney stated ““We must
prevent Syria from becoming a
terrorist training camp for Iran
and the IRG. This would allow for extremism and violence to
spread worldwide especially across the UK and EU. Proscribing the IRG as a
terrorist organisation would be a great step towards protecting our national
security and would send a firm message in standing up against
terrorism”.
