Original Note:
The script of the flag says “Ya Hussain”, which is used by Shia as a reference to Imam Hussain, Prophet Mohammed’s grandson. It is not considered an extremist flag by the UK government or affiliated with any group they designate as terrorist. https://netpol.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Counter-Terrorism-Policing-Extremist-Symbols-and-Flags.pdf https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/proscribed-terror-groups-or-organisations--2/proscribed-terrorist-groups-or-organisations-accessible-version https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ya_Hussain_flag.svg
