Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what representations he has made to the government of the United Arab Emirates regarding the decision of that government to include Islamic Relief on a list of terrorist organisations.
This question was answered on 3rd December 2014
The list provided by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) included a broad range of different groups, numbering 85 in total. We are seeking further clarity from the Emiratis on their rationale for some of these designations, and any practical implications. Islamic Relief is not proscribed in the UK. The list of groups proscribed in the UK is available on the gov.uk website at: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/380939/ProscribedOrganisations.pdf
