We will be running the Manchester 10k run to raise funds for the victims of ISIS and the barbaric war crimes they have committed against the Iraqi people and nation.
On the 11th of November 2014, the United Nations refugee agency (UNHRC) released a statement that estimated ISIS has displaced over 13.6 million people from their homes.
ISIS has targets all segments of the Iraqi population including Shia and Sunni Muslims, Christians, Kurds, Assyrian and Yazidi’s communities. Some of the worst atrocities committed by this vicious group includes; the massacre in Camp Speicher where an estimated 1,700 Iraqi men were executed in a single day, where the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said that they were preforming 'widespread ethnic and religious cleansing in areas under their control', 5,000 Yazidi men murdered in October 2014 where a UN report described it as a genocide, and recently the Iraqi town Taza South of Kirkuk, where ISIS used chemical weapons including sulphur mustard, a blistering agent, and chlorine against the people.
All these war crimes and others have been under the banner or Islam. Religion is innocent from these actions; the commander of the faithful Imam Ali states 'remember that people are of two kinds; they are either your brothers in religion or your brothers in mankind'.
Many Iraqis have been forced to leave their homes and are left with inadequate shelter, cloths and steady food sources.
We would appreciate your support with what ever you can spare.
All donations will go to help those victims.
Thank you
