Say NO To PREVENT

They are at it again!

PREVENT Officers in co-ordination with various Police Constabularies across the UK have been harassing members of the Muslim Community and contacting Masjids and Islamic Charities.

Over the course of the last couple of weeks, UK counter-terrorism police have conducted a series of raids and arrests, all in connection with Syria. Whether it has been Moazzam Begg, the Tahari family, or the heads of UK Muslim Charities, a message is being sent by the UK authorities that contributing through civil society to aid the humanitarian catastrophe in Syria is being made forbidden to the Muslim Community specifically.

EVENT REVIEW: Is Islam Being Criminalised?

The new month (Rabi' al-Awwal, just in case you were thinking January) was witness to a blessed gathering in Manchester on Saturday. Wrong again, it wasn’t at the Etihaad Stadium, but the Eastern Pearl Banqueting Hall. Over six hundred Muslims (or were they Islamists?), both male and female (with segregated seating, I must add, out of choice), of all ages (though males aged 18- 40, better watch out, you do qualify as potential combatants) made a hijrah to listen to a much esteemed panel of speakers (or was it preachers of hate?).

CagePrisoners Responds To Cancelled Event in Manchester

It is with regret that CagePrisoners announces the cancellation of the event “You think you know Guantanamo Bay?” which was scheduled for Thursday 18 April at Manchester Metropolitan Business School.

CagePrisoners were not the organisers of the event but provided speakers. The evening was organised by local students, and featured Jahanghir Mohammed an adviser to CagePrisoners, and Omar Deghayes, a Board Member, as well as two local respected solicitors. It provided a unique opportunity for local students to get involved and hear about the important issues of justice, abuse of human rights and how to voice their concerns and work for change, in a responsible manner, as Cage has done for many years now.
