UK removes HTS from list of banned terror groups

The UK lifted the ban on HTS to aid Syria's chemical weapons elimination and counter-Daesh efforts, reducing threats to the UK, officials said.

  • Britain has removed Hayat Tahrir al-Sham , the rebel group that toppled Bashar Assad's regime, from its list of banned terrorist organizations.
  • Deproscribing HTS will enable Britain to engage with Damascus to eliminate any remaining chemical weapons stockpiles and counter the threat from ISIS.
  • The move follows the US easing sanctions on Syria earlier this year to support the country's path to 'stability and peace'.
