Stiff penalty for terror links

As part of counterterrorism efforts, Interior Ministry issued a reminder to individuals, NGOs and organisations that any interaction with terrorist organisations is against the law.

A series of security and legal steps will be taken against organisations or individuals with links to terrorist organizations. This includes anyone who joins a terrorist group or possesses images, logos or symbols in the support of one or more terrorist groups.

Investment, commercial and economic activity will also be considered, in addition to those who patronise fake charities, which are often used to cover up terror funding.

Bank accounts and money transfers linked to terrorist activity will also be investigated.

Bahrain considers Hezbollah of Lebanon, February 14 Youth Coalition, Saray Al Ashtar, and Saraya Al Muqawama as terrorist groups.

The Ministry applauded Saudi Arabia for imposing penalties against individuals and organisations with links to Hezbollah.

The Saudi-led Islamic military alliance to fight terrorism will play a major role in fighting terrorist groups and protecting civil peace.
