(BBC) A Green Party councillor and chair of one of the region’s biggest mosques faces a possible three-year charity suspension imposed by the Charity Commission after sharing a social media post about the 7 October Hamas attack on Israel.
Abdul Malik was suspended as chair of Easton Mosque earlier this month. The Charity Commission’s ruling would prevent him being a trustee of any charity.
The investigation relates to a Facebook post from October 2023, which contained a video from Hamas about its attack on Israel earlier that month.
Mr Malik initially claimed he had been tagged in the post, before admitting he had shared it. He told the BBC he is appealing his suspension.
