ADDRESSED TO: BIRMINGHAM CITY COUNCIL LEADER, CLLR JOHN COTTON

The Labour council in Birmingham has allowed a hideous statue of a woman wearing a hijab to be erected in Birmingham.

This comes at a time when women in Islamic nations, such as Iran, are being executed or imprisoned for taking their hijabs off.

Women in Islamist communities face enormous communal pressure to wear these hijabs, mostly against their will.

The forced wearing of hijabs is a symbol of oppression throughout the world.

For this reason, the extremist statue in Birmingham must be torn down.

We do not oppress women here in our Christian, Western nations.

Britain First has launched an urgent petition to pressure the leader of Birmingham City Council, Cllr John Cotton, to reverse his outrageous decision.
