An inquiry to establish how Nordic associations ended up on United Arab Emirates (UAE) list of groups suspected of terrorist activities is in progress, Finland’s Ambassador to UAE said Ilkka-Pekka Similä.
 
The inquiry is going on, Similä said, but detailed information regarding the timetable could not be provided
 
A dozen of organisations were named in the UAE list, many of which are from Western countries.
 
UAE said the list was aimed to warn their citizens, financial institutions and communities from cooperating with the listed parties.
 
The Suomen islamilainen yhdyskunta (Finnish Islamic Association) was included in the list as well as other organisations from other Nordic countries.
 
Nordic countries are seeking to cooperate in probing the inclusion of associations from their respective countries.
 
One of the reasons is to get clarity with detailed information about the basis of the associations’ inclusion in the list.
