Lead Contributor

Opened the debate
The draft statutory instrument designates three bodies: the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Islamic Movement of Companions of the Right, and the GRU Volunteer Corps. The Home Secretary has determined that these are involved in foreign power threat activity as defined by the National Security Act 2023. Designation enables law enforcement to disrupt designated bodies more effectively and imposes severe penalties for supporting such bodies. Once designated, it becomes a criminal offence within the UK’s jurisdiction to support or obtain material benefits from them.
