About us
Who we are
MLegal Support is a forthcoming non-profit organisation dedicated to providing essential legal support and advocacy to protect, strengthen, and advance the rights of Muslim organisations and individuals across the UK.
In the face of rising Islamophobia and increasing hostility, Muslims in the UK encounter significant challenges. These include restrictive counter-terrorism legislation, infringements on religious expression in public institutions, limitations on the right to protest, and widespread censorship of pro-Palestinian advocacy. While various groups work to protect the rights of Muslims and other marginalised communities, there is an urgent need for a dedicated organisation focused on targeted legal action and advocacy.
MLegal Support aims to address this need by supporting and funding strategic litigation to combat miscarriages of justice affecting UK Muslims. Our main activities will involve providing guidance and signposting for routine cases, challenging discriminatory policies impacting Muslim communities, and offering expert advice to civil society organisations on accommodating Muslim rights. Additionally, MLegal Support will advance legal education within the Muslim community to ensure individuals are informed about their rights and responsibilities under UK law.
Through these efforts, MLegal Support will play a pivotal role in safeguarding the rights of Muslims and fostering a more just and equitable society. We are committed to addressing systemic issues and providing crucial support to those in need.
