England: Children’s Graves Vandalized in Muslim Cemetery

Three days ago, 85 graves, mainly those of babies and young children, were vandalized in the Muslim section of Carpenders Park Lawn Cemetery in Hertfordshire (UK).

The memorial plaques were broken, some torn off, causing deep pain to the families. The police are investigating a potentially Islamophobic hate crime and have increased their presence on site. Local authorities, as well as Wadi Funeral Services, denounce this barbaric act and promise to restore the graves as soon as the investigation is complete.

Local Muslim communities are deeply shocked but are also showing strong solidarity in the face of this desecration.
