Amnesty UK Iftar - 5 April 2024

Our chair has been busy, attending two Amnesty Iftars in April. The first was a flagship iftar held in Mile End, supported by AIUK staff, with over 200 in attendance. Iftar is the name of the meal eaten by Muslims at sunset to break their fast during Ramadan. During the Iftar there were opportunities to hear about the work that Amnesty International does to stand up for humanity and human rights. These iftars are designed to reach out into the local Muslim communities, with the intention of gaining support for the Amnesty movement.
