England declared Wagner a terrorist organization

The British Home Office statement said Wagner was on the list of “prohibited terrorist groups or organizations” under British law.

Thus, under the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2000, measures such as prison sentences of up to 14 years, freezing or confiscation of assets can be imposed on Wagner’s supporters.

With the decision, it will also be a crime to attend and support Wagner and his meetings, and to carry shields, logos and flags representing Wagner in public places.

WHAT HAPPENED?

In the Ministry’s statement of September 6, it was reported that a draft prohibition order had been submitted to parliament to include the Wagner group in the list of banned organizations from September 13.

In the statement, the reason for the decision to declare Wagner a banned terrorist organization was the scope of the group’s activities, its threats to British citizens abroad and its aim to support the fight against terrorism on a global scale. (AA)
