''The racist English Defence League – which has links to the British National Party and other fascist groups – has announced that they plan to “protest” outside a charity event organised by the Al-Khair Foundation at Wembley Arena, north west London, on Saturday 26 June.
The Al-Khair Foundation is a registered charity that raises aid and delivered relief to Haiti and Kashmir after the earthquakes there. The convention that the foundation is organising at Wembley aims to “remove misconceptions, false fear and hate of Islam and Muslims” and to promote dialogue between faiths.
The EDL are using the convention as a pretext to target the local Muslim community in Brent, a London borough with a hugely diverse population.
Unite Against Fascism and local trade unions, local councillors and representatives of all the area’s faith communities, have signed a unity statement demanding that the EDL call off their protest.
Counter demonstration against the EDL in Wembley
Saturday 26 June, 1.30pm to 6pm
Outside Wembley Arena, Engineers Way, London HA9 0DH
(Wembley Park or Wembley Central tube)''
