Government of Canada lists four new terrorist entities

Today, the Honourable Gary Anandasangaree, Minister of Public Safety, announced the addition of the following groups: 

  • 764,
  • Maniac Murder Cult,
  • Terrorgram Collective, and
  • the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS, also known as Daesh) affiliate Islamic State-Mozambique.

Under Canada's Criminal Code, these organizations are now legally defined as "terrorist groups". This gives Canadian law enforcement and security agencies stronger tools to prevent and disrupt terrorist activity. Key implications include:

  • All property owned by these groups in Canada must be frozen and reported to CSIS or the RCMP.
  • It is a criminal offence for anyone in Canada and Canadians abroad to knowingly deal with property belonging to a listed terrorist group.
  • Providing property or financial services that benefit these groups is also prohibited.
  • Immigration and border officials can use this listing to inform decisions on admissibility under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
