(National-UAE) Britain’s charity watchdog has launched a statutory inquiry into a London Islamic centre after a trustee described protesters in Iran as “soldiers of Satan.”
The Charity Commission is assessing a speech made by Seyed Moosavi, one of the trustees of the Islamic Centre of England, in which he vilified protesters in Iran.
This comes after the charity was earlier issued a warning after a speaker had praised the former Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps commander, Qassem Suleimani, as “a great martyr,” after he was killed by a US drone strike in January 2020.
In a statement, the commission indicated that Mr Moosavi’s speech deviated from undertakings made by the trustees following an earlier inquiry.
