The UK Government has announced the full ban of terror group Hezbollah. Christians United for Israel (CUFI) would like to thank every one that has supported this campaign!

20,615 people signed this CUFI petition with thousands more CUFI supporters writing to their MPs. By adding your name to this petition, you have made a firm stand against terror in the UK.

Together we have proven that uniting together in raising our voices really does make a difference. CUFI believed that calling for the banning of the Hezbollah flag just wasn't enough. That is why two years ago, we decided it was necessary to go even further and call to make the organisation itself illegal in the UK.

When the ban becomes law on Friday, it will be illegal for anyone to fly the Hezbollah flag on the streets of Britain – something that has been seen in London every year at the anti-Semitic, Al Quds march. The order will make it a criminal offence to be a member, or invite support for Hezbollah, and will carry a sentence of up to 10 years’ imprisonment.

CUFI will now be working in the weeks and months ahead to ensure that the ban is enforced in practice.

Over the past three years, CUFI has led the calls to ban the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terror group in the UK. We have more recently launched Operation Mordecai which is CUFI UK’s strategic plan to highlight the threat from Iran to Israel and the West.

The on-going campaign involves a number of actions on wide-ranging issues relating to Iran, including persecution within Iran and preventing the Iranian regime's influence in Britain. Its primary aim is to ensure Britain positions itself on the right side of history by defending Israel against the tyrannous Iranian regime.
