Demonstrations: Hezbollah
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what guidance her Department issues to police forces on expressions of support for Hezbollah during protests.
- Answer
-
The Government takes proscription offences extremely seriously. Hezbollah is proscribed in its entirety and once an organisation is proscribed, it is an offence to express support for the organisation. It is for the police to determine if an offence has been committed.
The College of Policing is responsible for providing guidance to frontline officers to ensure all officers have the latest information, advice and support to deal with proscription offences. The College of Policing are operationally independent from Government.
