LONDON: Sikh, Hindu, Christian and Muslim groups have written to UK communities secretary Steve Reed calling for govt’s proposed Islamophobia definition to be “abandoned” as it would stifle free speech.
The UK govt established a working group in Feb 2025 to develop a proposed definition of Islamophobia to provide govt with an understanding of prejudice against Muslim communities. The group submitted their proposal to govt in Oct. The definition, not yet published, will not be set in law but will be widely adopted across the public sector.
