United States legislators are set to vote on a bill that would grant the US Department of the Treasury broad authority to revoke the tax-exempt status of nonprofit organisations it deems to be supporting “terrorism”, raising fears that the legislation will be used against pro-Palestinian and other rights groups.
The Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act, or HR 9495, will be voted on in the US House of Representatives later on Tuesday.
