(Iran International) A Shi’ite summer school camp in England, known as Camp Wilayah, has been cancelled due to what its organizer described as safety threats, following accusations by a right-wing political party that it has ties to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
“In light of serious threats to the safety of children at the camp, we regret to announce that this year’s Camp Wilayah will not proceed,” the Ahlulbayt Islamic Mission (AIM) said in a statement.
AIM, a charity dedicated to promoting Shi’ite Islam, organizes the annual four-day summer camp for children aged nine to 14.
The event follows specific Islamic rules, such as gender segregation, mandatory hijab for girls, and loose clothing.
