The Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security (PJCIS) has today tabled its report by statement on the review of the re-listing of Islamic State Somalia as a terrorist organisation under Australia’s Criminal Code.
Islamic State Somalia is an officially recognised affiliate of Islamic State seeking to establish an Islamic Caliphate in the Horn of Africa.
It has performed terrorist acts against Somali citizens and government officials and promotes terrorist acts against Australia’s allies overseas.
The Committee’s report by statement acknowledges that the appropriate processes have been followed and that Islamic State Somalia meets the threshold for listing as a terrorist organisation under the Criminal Code.
