The organization criticized Human Rights Watch Rights group calls escalating violence in Britain ‘racist, Islamophobic riots’
The human rights organization indicated in a post on its Arabic-language account on the “X” platform that the racist attacks witnessed in Britain are “widespread throughout the Kingdom,” and are characterized by targeting “mosques, non-white communities, and places that shelter asylum seekers.”
She said the attacks were fuelled by years of anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant rhetoric in Britain.

In the same context, the British Prime Minister pledged Keir Starmer By not being lenient in pursuing those he described as far-right saboteurs.
Starmer, during a visit to a mosque in the town of Solihull near Birmingham, said that the reason that right-wing supporters did not hold 100 demonstrations as planned on Wednesday was due to increased security and judicial measures.
The British Prime Minister added that he will chair another meeting of the government’s emergency committee today, to follow up on the procedures for dealing with the far-right rioters, hundreds of whom have been arrested and many of whom are on trial.
Thousands of anti-racism protesters took part in demonstrations in several British cities, denouncing demonstrations organised by the far right in recent days that included violence.
Thousands of police officers have been put on high alert in preparation for confronting the far-right forces who were unable to demonstrate outside immigration and asylum centers in 100 locations, especially after prison sentences were issued against violators and the authorities sought to stop the escalation of the unrest, which is the worst in Britain since 2011.
