Lord Carlile QC reviewer of anti-terror laws: “I would never advise anybody to give money to CagePrisoners. I have concerns about the group.
Framkommer att CagePrisoners fått miljonbelopp, bland annat från en fond startad av BodyShops grundare:
Citat:
A controversial Islamic rights group fronted by a man charged with attending a terror training camp in Syria is being bankrolled by two mainstream British charities, including a foundation set up in the name of Dame Anita Roddick.
CagePrisoners, an organisation founded by Moazzam Begg - who has just appeared in court on terror charges - has been given £120,000 by the Anita Roddick Foundation, which distributes part of the former Body Shop owner’s £100 million fortune.
A second charity, the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, a Quaker-run fund set up by the chocolate-maker and philanthropist a century ago, has also paid CagePrisoners £305,000 over six years.
Frågan är om Body Shop verkligen anser att jihad ingår i deras definiering av begreppet "change the world":
Citat:
The Roddick Foundation is run by Anita Roddick’s husband, Gordon and their children. According to its website it says it gives money to those who want to ‘change the world.’
Man borde dragit några slutsatser om en organisation som skriver artiklar om att döda Obama, och stöttat Anwar al-Awlaki, kan man tycka.

Lord Carlile QC, the Government’s former independent reviewer of anti-terrorism legislation, said: “I would never advise anybody to give money to CagePrisoners. I have concerns about the group.
"There are civil liberty organisations which I do give money to but CagePrisoners is most certainly not one of them.”
Robin Simcox, a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society, a foreign policy think tank, said: “I cannot understand why human rights groups are aligned with CagePrisoners.
"The Joseph Rowntree Foundation and the Roddick Foundation should be treating this group with great caution.”
CagePrisoners insists it is a legitimate human rights organisation but its actions have repeatedly courted controversy.
In 2011 the group published an article about a mock execution of President Barack Obama, later saying the piece was “not promoting the killing of Obama”.
The controversial organisation, which campaigns for those it considers to be the victims of the war on terror, once supported the US-born radical Islamist cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.
