Society of The Revival of Islamic Heritage - Connection To Terrorism

Connection To Terrorism

The branches in Pakistan and Afghanistan allegedly became corrupted by members of al-Qaeda; those two branches, plus two of their personnel, plus the so-called Afghan Support Committee which they ran, were therefore embargoed on 9 January 2002 by the United States and two days later by the United Nations Security Council Committee 1267. The government of Russia has banned RIHS from operating anywhere in Russia and has deemed the society to be a terrorist organisation.

A release from the Treasury's Press Office alleged that the Pakistan office, under the direction of Abd al-Muhsin al-Libi, had inflated the number of orphans under its care.

The United States has the organization listed on the OFAC SDN list (as Administration of the Revival of Islamic Heritage Society Committee), thus prohibiting U.S. citizens and permanent residents from doing business with the organization.
