(National-UAE) European crisis commissioner Janez Lenarčič has said a “zero tolerance” principle will apply to aid group Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW) if it is found to have links to the Muslim Brotherhood and terror groups.
It follows calls for an investigation from European Parliament Vice President Nicola Beer over concerns the European Commission has supported the charity.
She had urged for a suspension of funding to IRW while its alleged links to the Muslim Brotherhood are investigated.
She had written to the European Commission and said it was unacceptable for Islamic Relief to receive funding if it has connections to the Muslim Brotherhood.
