IHRC has taken its “Save Our Mosques” campaign to the United Nations to highlight Britain’s free speech crackdown on the UK’s mosques.

A side panel meeting today 7 October at 11am (GMT) will mark the first step in taking the fight against the British government to international fora.

The UK, behind the smokescreen of anti-terrorism policy, is using public policy to reshape the way that Muslims think and behave. Part of its efforts have been through the regulation of registered charities. Many, if not most, mosques in the UK have this status.

The body that undertakes this function is the Charity Commission. It has been accused of disproportionately targeting Muslim charities (of all types) by many observers, for many years. Recently, especially since the Israeli genocide began in October 2023, mosques have been particularly targeted.

If we do not challenge this discriminatory behaviour we will effectively be leaving the way open for many more mosques to be attacked.
