Legal measures against supporting banned terrorists

Justice, Islamic Affairs and Endowments Minister, Shaikh Khalid bin Ali Al Khalifa has stated the “Ministry will hold accountable whoever uses religion in favour of any organisational links or loyalty to a foreign state or entity targeting the sovereignty, unity and stability of countries, whether through political societies or through raising money for religious purposes or religious discourse.”
The necessary legal measures will be taken against any political society that communicates or has links, in any way, with the Qatar-associated list of banned terrorist individuals and entities, or supports them through various means of publication or any political action tools, the minister said.
Shaikh Khalid underlined the continuous cooperation with the Ministry of Interior on combating the fund-raising or accepting donations crimes that are related to those individuals or entities.
The minister stressed rejection of all forms of connection that use external organisations as a means to interfere into domestic affairs.
“Allegiance to religion and to the homeland is through safeguarding the sovereignty and security of the country and protecting its gains, progress and values of citizenship and coexistence,” he said.
The minister affirmed the importance of confronting any course of action that conflicts with the fundamentals and top interests of the Kingdom, which, he said, reflects the strong faith, commitment and responsibility towards countering all forms of extremism, terrorism and violence, regardless of their sources.
