7:01Now PlayingTerror group Hamas has launched a legal bid to be removed from the UK’s list of proscribed terrorist organisations.
Tom Swarbrick speaks to Franck Magennis, from London-based law firm Riverway Law, who is acting pro bono to appeal against the Government’s designation of the organisation as terrorists.
The appeal claims the ban breaches Hamas supporters’ human rights under the ECHR by ‘unlawfully restricting’ their freedom of speech and right to protest.
It also claims that Hamas poses “no threat to the UK people”, and that banning it breaches Britain’s obligations under international law to be “not complicit in a genocide.”
Speaking to LBC last week, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: “Hamas is a terrorist organisation. It was a barbaric terrorist attack on October 7. Hamas has long been a terrorist organisation. We maintain our view about the barbaric nature of this organisation.”
