Islamic Human Rights Commission (Great Britain)

The Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) is a non-profit organisation based in London. Its stated mission is to "struggle for justice for all peoples regardless of their racial, confessional or political background". The group was established in 1997. Since 2007, the organisation has held consultative status with the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs. The organisation has been accused of ties with the government of Iran and spreading Islamic extremism in the United Kingdom. In the British government’s independent 2023 review of its Prevent counter-extremism programme, directed by William Shawcross, the final report described the organisation as "an Islamist group ideologically aligned with the Iranian regime, that has a history of ‘extremist links and terrorist sympathies’ ". The IHRC organises yearly Quds Day rallies, which take place on the last Friday of Ramadan to support the rights of the Palestinian people. Prior to 2019, the marches commonly included the display of Hezbollah flags, a group proscribed as a terrorist organisation in the United Kingdom in 2019.
