LONDON – 10/06/26
Acting President Adrian Cohen said:
“We welcome the Government’s introduction of legislation to provide new powers to tackle state backed threats, enabling the Government to take action against Iranian Regime actors, including the IRGC. We also welcome the Government today joining an international statement condemning the plotting of the IRGC and other Iranian agencies against international targets including Jewish communities, and condemning the attacks against Jews claimed by Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya (HAYI).
“In the wake of recent attacks on Jewish communities in the UK we called on the Government to act urgently to Protect British Jews from those who wish us harm, Prosecute those inciting against us, and Partner with us and wider society to tackle hatred and extremism.
“Introducing this legislation is an important step, and we will continue to press government to ensure it is swiftly enacted and put to use.”
