Quds Day Rally to Be Back on London Streets This Year (+Video)
Organized by the Islamic Human Rights Commission, the rally will start outside the Home Office at 3 PM (local time) and end in Downing Street.
A host of speeches will be delivered by invited guests.
“This is a chance for people to unite around the World in order to combat the violent extremism of the Zionist ideology. The Zionist apartheid regime believes that it can get away with attacks that would be unacceptable in most other countries. They do not even stop during Ramadan, if anything they often escalate their attacks during this time. They underestimate us, our deen is our strength, Ramadan is a time for us to unite and remember those who are in need,” reads a statement on the website of the Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC).
Supporting Organizations of the rally are In Minds, Scotland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (Scottish PSC), Muslim Public Affairs Committee UK (MPACUK), 5 Pillars, Neturei Karta, Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC), Ahlul Bayt Islamic, Mission (AIM), Jewish Network for Palestine (JNP), Scotland Against Criminalising Communities, Lebanese Community Scotland, Union of Islamic Students Associations in Europe, Football Against Apartheid, and Ahlul Bayt Society Sisters.
International Quds Day is a legacy of the late founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, who designated the day in solidarity with Palestinians.
Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, International Quds Day has been held worldwide on the last Friday of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
