Board of Deputies condemns Islamophobic Brixton graffiti

“Let’s hope the perpetrators can be found and prosecuted for this vile and cowardly behaviour.”

Inquiries are ongoing at this time as part of a full investigation, the force added.

Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, said he was “disgusted” by the graffiti, which comes just days after antisemitic symbols were daubed across several shop fronts and a synagogue in north London.

Mr Khan tweeted: “Disgusted to hear that Islamophobic slogans have been spray painted near the North Brixton Islamic Centre.

“@metpoliceuk are working with Lambeth Council to have them removed, but let me be clear: all prejudice is cowardly and criminals will face the full force of the law.”
