Letter raises serious concerns about the government’s ‘independent review’ into Sharia courts in Britain.

An independent review into the application of Sharia Law in England and Wales launched by then Home Secretary Theresa May earlier this year is facing criticism from women’s rights groups.

The review is chaired by Professor Mona Siddiqui, who, according to the UK government, is ‘an internationally renowned expert in Islamic and inter-religious studies appointed OBE for her services to inter-faith relations’.
