‘Don’t let right-wing racists divide us’
Anti-racist and faith groups lead vigil for terrorist attack victims
FAITH organisations joined forces with civil rights campaigners last night to condemn the recent London terror attack. Organisations of all faiths and campaigners against racism and Islamophobia called a series of unity vigils in response to the attacks in Westminster, which saw the deaths of four people plus the attacker.
As of last night two further “significant” arrests have been made in connection with the Westminster attack bringing the total number of those arrested in the wake of the attack to nine.
Scotland Yard’s top anti-terror officer Mark Rowley said the suspects were held overnight in the West Midlands and Manchester areas as he revealed that the killer’s birth name was Adrian Russell Ajao.
