Global Human Rights list corrects Avichai Suissa entry

Avichai Suissa (Unique ID GHR0202) remains a designated person under the Global Human Rights sanctions regimePublishing. The corrected entry records Dobs 01/07/1986, Nationalities Israel, Genders Male and Country of birth Israel, with an address in the West Bank. The primary name is Avichai SUISSA with the Hebrew-script form אביחי סוויסה. Sanctions imposed are recorded as Asset freeze, Travel Ban and Director Disqualification SanctionPublishingPublishingPublishing. The Designation source is the United Kingdom, the Date designated is 08/09/2026, and the Last updated field now shows 08/09/2026 alongside 10/09/2026.

The UK statement of reasons records that the Secretary of State considers Avichai SUISSA an involved person on the basis that SUISSA provides financial services, or makes available funds, economic resources, goods or technology, knowing or having reasonable cause to suspect that those financial services, funds, economic resources, goods or technology will or may contribute to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. That ground corresponds to the designation criterion in regulation 6 covering a person who provides financial services, or makes available funds, economic resources, goods or technology, knowing or having reasonable cause to suspect that those services, funds, economic resources, goods or technology will or may contribute to such an activity.

Screening systems keyed to the UK Sanctions List should carry the corrected entry. Name matching should account for the Hebrew-script form alongside the primary name, and records should retain the Unique ID GHR0202 so that the correction attaches to the existing designation rather than creating a duplicatePublishing. No new person was added and no person was removed by this correctionPublishing; the operative change for list consumers is the corrected entry data dated 10 September 2026.

Where a firm or other person knows or has reasonable cause to suspect it holds or controls funds or economic resources of a designated person, it must freeze them, must not deal with them or make them available to or for the benefit of the designated person except under an exception in the legislation or an OFSI licence, and must report findings to OFSI. Relevant firms carry reporting and record-keeping obligations under the financial sanctions framework. Failure to comply with financial sanctions legislation, or seeking to circumvent its provisions, may be a criminal offence.
