12 AL-NASHIF v. BULGARIA JUDGMENT The El-Manar foundation had indeed been dissolved on 15 February 1996 on the ground that its goals were unlawful. However, its representative had not been among the persons named by the Government as Mr Al-Nashif's business partners. The applicants submitted copies of certificates issued by the legal persons' register at the competent court. (d) Alleged fundamentalist activities at the Narechenski Bani seminar 59. The Government stated that the seminar had been organised under the auspices of the Irshad foundation, which was allegedly known as one of the disguised creatures of the Muslim Brothers, a fundamentalist organisation. The police had considered the seminar unlawful and dangerous for national security.

In support of this allegation the Government submitted copies of newspaper articles and a copy of a one-page report by a police officer in Smolyan, addressed to his superiors. The report, dated 14 January 1999, stated as follows: “I report hereby that I received the following information through a third person:
