Yvette Cooper comments on the decision to proscribe Hizb ut-Tahrir as a terror group

Yvette Cooper MP, Labour's Shadow Home Secretary, commenting on news the Home Secretary has laid a draft order to proscribe the Hizb ut-Tahrir organisation as a terror group, said:

"There have long been serious concerns about Hizb ut-Tahrir, which have been exacerbated in light of Hamas’ barbaric terrorist attack on Israel on 7 October.

“It is right that the government has looked urgently at the evidence and intelligence information available to them about the threat posed by Hizb ut-Tahrir, and we welcome and support the decision to proscribe them. 

"Those who incite violence and promote or glorify terrorism have no place on Britain's streets and must face the full force of the law.”
