Russia bans ISIS, Al-Nusra, labels them ‘terrorist’ organisations.(RT).
Islamic State and Al-Nusra Front have been banned in Russia by the Supreme Court, which has ruled both the organizations as ‘terrorist’.
Once the ruling comes into force, those suspected of being involved with either Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) or Al-Nusra Front (also known as Jabhat al-Nusra), will face prosecution in Russia.
The case against the two extremist groups was initiated by Russia’s Prosecutor General and supported by the Federal Intelligence Agency (FSB).
The court hearings were closed for the press, as certain documents reviewed were classified.
The judge only announced the final decision.
“Having heard representatives of Prosecutor General’s Office and FSB [Federal Security Service], having studied the case files, the Supreme Court has ruled: to grant a judgment to the plaintiff, the prosecutor general, to regard the Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra organizations as terrorists and to ban their activity in Russia,” the judge said, according to TASS.
