The Islamic Human Rights Commission is an independent, non-profit, campaign, research and advocacy organization that struggles for justice, founded in 1997.
The policing of pro-Palestine protests is getting intolerably heavy-handed and even ridiculous
Yesterday, police in London arrested two rabbis for anti-Semitism during the Al-Quds Day march

IHRC is deeply concerned by the UK government's decision to proscribe Hizb ut-Tahrir as a terrorist organisation.
The use of anti-terrorism legislation to silence dissent and shrink civil society space has become one of the defining features of the time we live in.

IHRC’s office was targeted by a vandal on 30th October. They damaged our window and shutters with paint. They targeted us because of our support for Palestine.

Prosecuting, not protecting, whistle-blowers highlights just how indifferent the establishment is to basic rights
Just as with Gaza, those who expose war crimes are the ones being criminalised
"In deciding that the University of Bristol unlawfully sacked Prof. David Miller the law has provided a protective shield for Palestine campaigners who fear that their livelihoods may be targeted on account of their anti-Zionist views."
"The blackballing of Muslim groups as a threat to a state-defined "British way of life" plays to a host of Islamophobic tropes designed to incite hatred and hostility."

Eid Mubarak from the entire IHRC family. We are blessed to see another Eid, although it feels different because of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. This Eid let us recommit ourselves to the struggle for justice, that must continue.

PRESS RELEASE – Kaduna, Nigeria: Police open fire at pro-Zakzaky protestors:

So the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change is criticising IHRC,
@cage
@mendcommunity
@MPACUK

of creating a Good Muslim / Bad Muslim narrative. By writing a report accusing them of being Bad Muslims.
You couldn't make this up...
The sight of MPs tying themselves in knots to deflect accusations that they undermined the democratic process to advance the interests of their Zionist paymasters would be amusing if it didn't carry real everyday consequences for Muslims

It could be recalled that the lawyers called for the adjournment of the sitting to enable them to scrutinize the papers that detail the deteriorating medical condition of the sheikh.
Don’t let the headlines fool you. Suella Braverman is NOT making the Palestinian flag illegal. She is trying to intimidate the groundswell of pro-Palestinian support in Britain.
