The British Ministry of Internal Affairs forbade the country to return to the country by the radical Muslim preacher Omar Bakri Mohammed, suspected of inciting to extremist activities, BBC reports. At the beginning of the week, Omar Bakri Mohammed left for Lebanon, and on Thursday the authorities of this country arrested him.
It is argued that Mohammed is associated with at least two extremist groups - Hizb Ut -Taurir and Al -Muhajirun - which may be banned in Britain according to changes in the legislation.
Now the British authorities said that his possible return would contradict national interests. “We do not think that he will bring public benefit,” said the official representative of the British Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The head of the office of the office Charles Clark sent Omar Bakrry Mohammed an official letter with a notification that his residence permit was canceled, and that he could appeal within two weeks.
45 -year -old Omar Bakri Mohammed - citizen of Livan and Syria - stated that if he learned about the preparation of explosions in the UK, he would not have informed the authorities. After the explosions in London public transport on July 7 and failed attempts to repeat them on July 21, the British authorities announced the tightening of politics in relation to preachers that incite believers to extremist actions.
Betrayal?
The assumptions were put forward that, within the framework of such a policy, Omaru Bakri Mohammed could be charged with treason in connection with his statements, which are believed to be called up to attack the UK.
Omar Bakri Mohammed himself said that Britain declared war on Islam. And one of his associates said that Sheikh had left the country, since for many years he was a victim of cruel attacks.
However, the head of the Muslim Council of Great Britain Ikbal Sacrane welcomed Mohammed's decision to leave the country and stated that Muslims "have something to celebrate."
At the end of the week, the British authorities also detained the radical preacher Abu Katada, who is a citizen of Jordan and another nine people. The Ministry of the Interior said that their presence in the country is contrary to the interests of national security.
