British Muslim Forum - BMF

Dr Khurshid Ahmed has been awarded the CBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list published in the London Gazette on Saturday 14th June 2008.

Over the last six months, the British Muslim Forum along with other prominent Muslim organisations have engaged in intensive discussions with the Government on the proposal to extend the pre-charge detention period from the current 28 days to 42. Like all other civil liberty campaigners, the British Muslim Forum has been strongly and explicitly opposed to the proposal. Like everyone else we believe this would be seen as a victory by those who seek to undermine our values and compromise the high standards of justice for which our country is renowned over the world.
