This event provides an opportunity to remember the victims of illegal rendition detainment and torture, control orders, SIAC court rulings and all other measures imposed to unlawfully strip Muslim prisoners in the UK and abroad of their dignity, freedom and liberties- 'guilty' either by association/ circumstance or for expressing an opinion/ voicing openly an authenticated article of faith.

[Abu Muhammed]

It is reported on the authority of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (رضي الله عنه) that the Prophet, (صلى الله عليه و سلم), said:
“Free the prisoner, feed the hungry and visit the sick.” (Saheeh al Bukharee #3046)

[Abu Muhammed]

The Messenger of Allaah, (صلى الله عليه و سلم), said:
“The lives and blood of the Muslims are equal, the one who has the lowest status of them represents them and gives refuge to a person whom they dislike, and they are a single fist against others. The strongest of them will protect the weakest.”
(Ahmed, Abu Dawood, Saheeh Jami: 5690. Graded Saheeh by Shaykh al-Albani)
