(Iran International) A right-wing political party in the UK is demanding an upcoming Shi’ite Islamic camp for children be cancelled over alleged ties to Iran’s government which organizers deny.
Reform UK, formerly known as the Brexit Party led by Nigel Farage, says Camp Wilayah has “clear and troubling ties to the Iranian Revolutionary Regime.”
The camp, set to be held for boys and girls aged nine to 14, is run by the Ahlulbayt Islamic Mission (AIM).
In a section on the camp’s official website called “hijab and segregation,” organizers said the genders would be separated and hijabs will be mandated for the girls.
Several local branches of Reform UK sent a letter to the managers of Phasels Wood Activity Centre in Hertfordshire outside London, urging them to cancel the event.
