T
he British government is set to label Russia’s notorious Wagner Group a terrorist organisation, Home Secretary Suella Braverman confirmed today, meaning it will join the ranks of al-Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram and Hamas.
The move draws attention to the fact that the Kremlin-financed private military company remains a global security threat, despite the death of its notorious boss leaving the group’s future uncertain.
“They are terrorists, plain and simple – and this proscription order makes that clear in UK law,” declared Braverman, who today laid before Parliament a draft order to proscribe Wagner Group under the Terrorism Act 2000.
