  • Story Text: Around 200 people of all faiths gathered in front of London's Finsbury Park Mosque on Tuesday (June 20) to show solidarity after a van ploughed into Muslim, injuring 11 people, two of them critically.
    Leader of the British Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn urged communities to unite against extremism during a speech at the vigil after standing alongside representatives of local religious communities during a minute's silence in front of the mosque.
    Locals sang together and laid flowers at the mosque, holding up placards which said "Don't let the racists divide us" and "No to Islamophobia, No to War".
    The driver, who was seized by worshippers immediately after the attack on Monday (June 19) night has been held by police for preparing or instigating terrorism.
