RICHMOND, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – Attorney General Jason Miyares is touting a Richmond Circuit Court decision compelling AJP Educational Foundation, also known as American Muslims for Palestine, to comply with the Attorney General’s Civil Investigative Demand. In October 2023, the Virginia Office of the Attorney General issued the CID to Falls Church-based AMP accusing the organization of noncompliance with the state’s charitable solicitation law in an investigation into allegations AMP may have used solicited funds for impermissible purposes, such as benefiting or providing support to terrorist organizations.

Miyares states “When charitable organizations operating in Virginia fail to follow the law, my office has a duty to act, and we will not allow legal delay tactics to interfere with that responsibility.”

The Office of the Attorney General has no further comment as this investigation remains ongoing. Click here for the Circuit Court order.
