Danish Justice minister Lene Espersen rejects additional studies of Hizb ut-Tahrir's international connections and financing. This, after the prosecutor general concluded in June that there's no evidence that the organization has illegal objectives.
The Danish People's Party, New Alliance and the Radicals continue to demand a ban against Hizb ut-Tahrir. And New Alliance's leader, Naser Kahder, has specially requested further studies of Hizb ut-Tahrir's cooperation with Muslim organizations in other countries along with the money trail both of the Danish branch and between the international branches.
Khader recommends that prosecutor Jørgen Steen Sørensen take a course in Islamic ideology.
Espersen has meanwhile pointed out in a list of answers to the parliament's justice committee that the prosecutor had investigated the issue twice, first in 2004 and then this past month, without finding anything. She writes that her understanding is that there's no need to make further studies of the organizations' links and financing.
At the same time the justice minister stresses that the prosecution is now paying close attention to the Hizb ut-Tahrir and will get data from the police and security service about its activity. The goal is now to estimate where there's reason to consider a ban against Hizb ut-Tahrir.
