A Redditor in UK was seeking legal advice after having his bank account frozen for donating to a terrorist group. He was arguing with everyone about whether or not the law is fair and that whether Hezbollah should be considered as a terrorist org by the UK government.
> All my bank accounts has been frozen and none of my banks are telling me why
> As far as I'm aware, the organisation I used to work with was not a proscribed organisation until 2019. What'a funny is that it was a political decision, not a decision of national security. I provided financial aid to deal with the crisis in Beirut and now they have frozen my accounts? Is this illegal and if so how can I pay for my solicitor if I can't access my bank account?
> You used to work with Hezbollah, and then you sent them or a closely affiliated organisation funds from your UK bank account? You could quite possibly have violated the Terrorism Act 2000; in this case, the police will be in contact soon.
> There is a DISTINCTION between the military wing and the political wing of the organisation.
> It's worth noting that Hezbollah themselves deny distinction between its military and political wings.
> See: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/proscribed-terror-groups-or-organisations--2 on page 14.
> This quote from Hezbollah's second in command Naim Qassem:
> “All political, social and jihad work is tied to the decisions of this leadership,” he said. “The same leadership that directs the parliamentary and government work also leads jihad actions in the struggle against Israel.”

> So it seems even Hezbollah don't agree they aren't terrorists.
> Imperialist paper
> Are you denying that that was a real quote...?
