Muslim Council of Elders condemns attack on nursery in Thailand

The Muslim Council of Elders strongly condemns the armed attack on a daycare centre in northeastern Thailand, which led to the death of many school children and teachers.

The Council is under the Chairmanship of Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar.

It also reaffirmed its categorical rejection of the grotesque crime, which contradicts all religious teachings and laws and basic human instincts that sanctify and protect human life.

The Council extends its deepest condolences to the Kingdom of Thailand, its people, and the victims' families while wishing the wounded a speedy recovery.
