Press Statement on the Anti-Muslim Attacks in Western France

The High Representative for the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC), Mr. Miguel Ángel Moratinos, strongly condemns acts of anti-Muslim hatred that took place in Nantes and Rennes, Western France over the past few days. The High-Representative denounces the graffiti found on the walls of the Avicenne Islamic cultural center in the western French city of Rennes. According to news reports, the hateful slogans were discovered on Sunday on a side building used as a prayer room and while prayers were taking place. Earlier, in the neighboring city of Nantes, the door of the Arrahma mosque was subject to an arson attack which destroyed it.
