We condemn the horrific antisemitic attack on Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in north Manchester, that killed two people.
This attack is particularly abhorrent as it occurred on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish religious calendar. Antisemitism must be rooted out of society.
Our deepest condolences go to the loved ones of those killed. Our thoughts are also with all those injured and affected by this horrific crime.
It’s vital that we promote peace, unity and mutual respect and stand together against hatred and division at this difficult time.
