(BBC) The Charity Commission has opened a statutory inquiry after footage of “death to Israel” chants at an Islamic centre was revealed by the BBC.
The charity regulator said it was investigating “serious concerns over the misuse of charity premises.”
Trustees of the Al-Tawheed (TUCF) Charitable Trust told the commission they were not in office at the time.
The commission said antisemitic chants were heard at the event.
In January, the BBC verified videos obtained by Kasra Aarabi, director of IRGC research at the US-based campaign group United Against Nuclear Iran, from inside the Kanoon Towhid Islamic Centre in west London, commemorating Iran’s top military commander Gen Qasem Soleimani. He had been killed in a US air strike in 2020.
