(GB News) Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer gave legal advice to an Islamist group in its appeal over a ban in Germany, GB News can reveal.
Starmer advised Hizb ut-Tahrir in 2008, five years after it was banned from conducting activities in Germany over antisemitic leaflets.
The fundamentalist group said that Starmer led the legal team behind its submission to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, where it highlighted its “silencing” despite being a “non-violent political party based on Islam.”
Three more barristers from two other chambers supported Starmer’s legal leadership.
The extremist sect also said that Starmer’s legal submission highlighted that some members of the group “had their assets confiscated or frozen … despite several being German or EU nationals.”
