(BBC) Trustees of a mosque in south Wales have been given a formal warning by the Charity Commission after sharing a video in the wake of the October 7 terrorist attacks showing a “positive image” of Hamas, a proscribed terrorist group in the UK.
An inquiry by the regulator found misconduct or mismanagement, or both, by trustees of the Al-Manar Centre Trust in Cardiff over a video posted on the charity’s social media account in November 2023.
The trust’s objectives include Islamic education and religious harmony, but the commission said the video it shared tried to justify the October 2023 terrorist attack on Israel.
The Al-Manar Centre Trust said the incident was due to “genuine human error.”
