Protect Muslim and Jewish burial rights according to Islamic and Jewish Law
With the extremely difficult and sensitive situation and the ever increasing death toll in the UK due to Coronavirus. The British Muslim & Jewish community are very concerned about any plans to cremate the bodies of Muslim and Jewish victims of this disease.
Such actions are against our beliefs.
We require assurances that cremation of Muslims and Jewish people will not occur under any circumstances.
I want UK Parliament to protect the right of burial for any Muslims and Jewish people who pass away due to Covid-19 infection.
I understand Parliament is due to consider an alternative way but as British Muslims and British Jews, any other way other than burial is not allowed & totally unacceptable.
