Ibrahim Mousawi (Arabic: إبراهيم الموسوي; also spelled Moussawi or El-Moussaoui, born 1965) is a Lebanese journalist and spokesman for the Islamist group Hezbollah, which is considered a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union.
[10] Following the cessation of hostilities, Mousawi was invited to speak to European audiences in Ireland, Germany[11] and the UK,[12] where he was announced as a Hezbollah spokesman on posters of the Stop the War Coalition.
[16] In October 2007, Mousawi was refused entry to Ireland on security grounds following a recommendation from the Gardaí[17] and he is also barred from entering the United States because of his links with Hezbollah.
[19] Mousawi's visit was condemned by Conservative Party Leader David Cameron in the House of Commons and by shadow Defence Minister Baroness Neville-Jones, a former chairwoman of the Joint Intelligence Committee.
[21] When Mousawi was announced for a UK visit in March 2009, campaigners from the Centre for Social Cohesion pledged to seek an arrest warrant for him.
