• •Amnesty International UK condemned a bonfire construction in Moygashel as an incitement to hatred.

A bonfire in the Moygashel area of Northern Ireland has drawn widespread condemnation for including an effigy of a mosque. The Guardian reports that Amnesty International UK labeled the display a blatant attempt to incite anti-Muslim hatred. While loyalist bonfires are a common, if controversial, tradition in Northern Ireland, this instance stands out for its specific targeting of a religious institution. Whether local authorities or community leaders will take action to remove the effigy before the scheduled Friday burning remains the immediate point of contention.
