Statement from Mayor of London on sixth anniversary of Finsbury Park terror attack

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan said: “My thoughts are with the family and friends of Makram Ali who so tragically lost his life and all those who were injured in the Finsbury Park terror attack six years ago.

“The way the local community responded to the attack showed how Londoners will always stand together in the face of such hate and division and those who wish to harm our way of life will never succeed. London’s rich diversity is our greatest strength, and we will never be cowed by terrorism.

“The evolving threat of terrorism is still very real which is why I am continuing to take action by investing record amounts in the police and funding important projects which help our communities stand up to all forms of hate so that we can build a safer London for everyone.”
