Since yesterday heavily armed soldiers have surrounded the premises where Sheikh Ibrahim el-Zakzaky is being held

IHRC has again written to the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan accusing him of kowtowing to Zionist and far right extremists in his continuing endeavours to control what is displayed at the annual Al-Quds Day demonstration in London.

Along with his wife and two others the sheikh has been charged with eight offences, the most serious of which is punishable by death

Eye-witnesses report that the dead and wounded were targeted by sniper fire as they tried to stage a peaceful protest

Demonstrators took to the streets in London, Geneva, Toronto, Turkey, Denmark, Indonesia and Pakistan on Sunday 15 April 2018

Prince Deji Adeyanju was arrested and taken away to an unknown location by armed police as he took part in the daily protests

Police have already confirmed to IHRC that 2018’s counter demonstration will consist of a coalition of Zionists, far-right extremists and neo-Nazi groups

The advice is targeted at Muslim women in particular because they often present a more visible and vulnerable target to would-be attackers
