Mr

We have reasonable grounds to suspect that Gurpreet Singh REHAL (“REHAL”) is an involved person on the basis that he is and has been involved in the following terrorist activity: (a)REHAL is a member of two organisations (i.e. persons for the purposes of the Sanctions and Anti Money Laundering Act 2018 (“SAMLA”)) who are and have been involved in terrorism, namely Babbar Khalsa (“BK”) - BK uses the alias Babbar Khalsa International (“BKI”) - and Babbar Akali Lehar; REHAL is and has been promoting and encouraging terrorism, through promoting persons involved in terrorism, namely BK and Babbar AkaliLehar; (b)REHAL is carrying out or has carried out recruitment activities for persons involved in terrorism, namely BK and Babbar Akali Lehar; REHAL is and has been involved in terrorism by providing financial services for the purposes of terrorism by providing financial services to persons involved in terrorism, namely BK and Babbar Akali Lehar; and (c)REHAL is and has been supporting or assisting BK through purchasing weapons along with other military material for BK; and Babbar Akali Lehar by providing material to it to sell on its stalls. We have reasonable grounds to suspect that Saving Punjab CIC (company number: 13892609) , WhiteHawk Consultations Ltd (company number:15662866)and the unincorporated association/organisation Loha Designs are controlled by REHAL. Both are subject to the asset freeze on REHAL; and Saving Punjab and WhiteHawk Consultations Ltd are subject to the director disqualification sanction.

Asset freeze and making available provisions

• The Regulations impose financial sanctions through a targeted asset freeze on designated persons and prohibitions on making funds or economic resources available. This involves the freezing of funds and economic resources (non-monetary assets, such as property or vehicles) of designated persons and ensuring that funds and economic resources are not made available to or for the benefit of designated persons or entities, either directly or indirectly.

The government has repealed Part 1 of the Terrorist Asset-Freezing etc. Act 2010 (TAFA). The Counter-Terrorism (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 came fully into force on 31 December 2020 and are intended to replace Part 1 of TAFA. This sanctions regime aims to further the prevention of terrorism in the UK or elsewhere and protect UK national security interests. It will ensure the UK implements its international obligations under UN Security Council Resolution 1373. You should also review the Sanctions (EU Exit) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No. 3) Regulations 2020 to find out any amendments made to the Regulations. These regulations have replaced TAFA, with substantially the same effect. Those persons who are designated under this regime are included on the UK sanctions list. There are two other counter-terrorism sanctions regimes: the ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida sanctions regime and the Counter-Terrorism (International) sanctions regime.

Licensing and exception provisions are contained in Part 4 of the Regulations.
