"Since the disaster in New York on 11 September 2001, attempts have been made to make the international financing of terrorist activities impossible. People and organisations have been put on lists and suddenly forbidden to travel abroad. It has also been made impossible for these same people and organisations to receive or spend money through bank payments. This has even meant that people have lost all their income with which they support themselves and their families, without being locked up for a criminal offence against which they can legally defend themselves. Once they are on a list, no matter how much of a mistake that may be, it is extremely difficult to get off again. Generally it is not the real terrorists who are affected by this, as they have developed illegal routes that cannot be touched by it. They are refugees and democratic oppositions in exile, who are hated by the regime in power in their country of origin. I have asked for attention to be given to this problem before in written questions on organisations of people from the former state of Somalia and of the left-wing opposition driven out of the Philippines. What is now being proposed is moving in the right direction. The people affected are now able to pay for their food, accommodation, medical care and legal representation and it is no longer impossible to get names scrapped from the list."@en1
