(ITV) Plans to ban Islamist political group Hizb ut-Tahrir as a terrorist organisation have been approved by Parliament.
Hizb ut-Tahrir has organised rallies which took place on the streets of London alongside pro-Palestinian marches in recent months, following the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
It has already been banned in Germany, as well as in several Arab and Asian countries, because of what the Home Office has described as its “long-term goal of establishing a caliphate ruled under Islamic law.”
With headquarters in Lebanon, the group also operates in at least 32 countries including the UK, United States, Canada and Australia.
