UK: Proscribes Hezballah

(London) The British Home Secretary Sajid Javid has taken the step of  banning all wings of Hezbollah due to its destabilizing influence in the Middle East, classing the Lebanese Islamist movement as a terrorist organization. 

“We are no longer able to distinguish between their already banned military wing and the political party. Because of this, I have taken the decision to proscribe the group in its entirety.”
The changes are expected to take force from Friday, after which supporting Hezbollah will be an offence carrying a sentence of up to 10 years in prison. Pretty sure the leader of the British socialist Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn who classes 'Hezballah' as his friends won't be happy.
