Jo Cox, humanitarian.
Humanity lost a champion when Jo Cox was stolen from us. We are deeply saddened by the loss. We extend our most sincere condolences to Jo’s family and friends, and our thoughts and prayers are with them.
The Turkish website Anadolu Agency has covered Rethink Rebuild Society’s tributes to Jo Cox, the MP murdered in her constituency this month, in an article on 17 June. Yasmine Nahlawi, Advocacy and Policy coordinator for Rethink Rebuild, told the Agency that Jo Cox was “a voice of truth and justice”.
Yasmine Nahlawi from Rethink Rebuild Society paid tribute to the murdered MP Jo Cox on Radio 4’s The World Tonight on 17th June. We talked about Jo's incredible help to the Syrian community and the huge void that we have felt since her brutal murder.
Rethink Rebuild Society had a meeting with Jeff Smith MP in Parliament on 15th June. We discussed civilian protection and condemnation of Assad’s war crimes in Syria. We were especially pleased that Mr Smith has agreed to take part in our fundraising Fast-a-thon on 1st July to help break the sieges.
