This regulation gives legal effect to the government's decision to ban Al-Murabitun, which was an Islamist militant group active in North Africa."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/criminal-code-terrorist-organisation-al-murabitun-regulation-2014","history":"/api/acts/criminal-code-terrorist-organisation-al-murabitun-regulation-2014/history","analysis":"/api/acts/criminal-code-terrorist-organisation-al-murabitun-regulation-2014/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/criminal-code-terrorist-organisation-al-murabitun-regulation-2014/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/criminal-code-terrorist-organisation-al-murabitun-regulation-2014/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/criminal-code-terrorist-organisation-al-murabitun-regulation-2014/documents"}}
