Rally remembers London victims and draws attention to the plight of British Muslims

HUNDREDS of people gathered in London’s Russell Square yesterday to remember the victims of the London bombings.

The rally, organised by the Muslim Association of Britain and the Stop the War coalition, attracted people from around Britain to listen to speeches by prominent members of the two groups.

Stop the War Coalition chairman Andrew Murray said: "We have called today's event for three reasons, the first is to remember the dead from the terrible outrages in our city, only a few yards from here on July 7.
