In response to the attack in Westminster, London, earlier this week, Kate Allen, Director of Amnesty International UK, said: 

“Our thoughts are with all those affected by the terrible attack in Westminster.

“This reprehensible attack at the heart of our democracy and on innocent people was a grave breach of human rights.

“In difficult times such as these, it is important to remain kind and compassionate to one another.

“Our common humanity must not be undermined by those who seek to divide us. We must stand together against hatred.”
