Muslim Women Form Human Chain along Westminster Bridge after London Attack

The human chain,  organised by the Women’s March organisers, was intended as a show of solidarity with victims of terror – Women’s March London.

London, 28 Jumadil Akhir 1438/27 March 2017 (MINA) – Women, mainly Muslim, formed a human chain along Westminster Bridge on Sunday evening, in a show of defiance against terror at the scene of last week’s attack which claimed four lives, MME reported.

The quiet protest, which was organised by the Women’s March, saw around 100 women hold hands and bow their heads in silence.

On Wednesday, Khalid Masood drove his SUV along the same pavement where the women stood, killing three pedestrians before stabbing a policeman to death.

Ayesha Malik, from Surrey, told Metro newspaper that: “As a visible Muslim I think it was important to show solidarity with the principles that we all hold dear, the principles of plurality, diversity and so on.”

Fariha Khan said: “The feeling of what happened here on Wednesday was really strong.

“We thought of the ordinary people who were here and were mown down, standing here like this, it was very overwhelming.” (T/RS5/RS1)
