UK ADDS THE TERRORGRAM COLLECTIVE TO THE LIST OF PROSCRIBED ORGANISATIONS

The Terrorgram collective is an entirely online network of Extreme-Right Wing terrorists which produces and disseminates violent propaganda with the aim of radicalising readers and encouraging them to commit acts of terrorism.  It is a criminal offence for a person to belong to, or invite support for, a proscribed organisation.  It is also a criminal offence to arrange a meeting to support a proscribed organisation; or to wear clothing or carry articles in public which rouse reasonable suspicion that an individual is a member or supporter of a proscribed organisation.
