The Islamic Centre Selling Hezbollah Trinkets in the Heart of London
31st January 2026
An Islamic centre is under investigation after hosting an event where Hezbollah phone cases and pro-Iranian regime key rings were sold.
The Islamic Centre of England, a registered charity, held a “community bazaar” which it described as a “vibrant space for cultural interaction, the exchange of knowledge and experiences, and the strengthening of national and religious identity”.
But The Telegraph has obtained a dossier of images showing items on sale at the event, which include phone cases with silhouette photos of Hassan Nasrallah, the former secretary-general of Hezbollah, who was killed by Israel in 2024.
Hezbollah, a terrorist organisation based in southern Lebanon, is proscribed by the UK government meaning it is a criminal offence to display images that seemingly support the group.
Elsewhere at the bazaar were stickers featuring the apparent silhouettes of other Hezbollah commanders, including Qassem Soleimani, the former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force, who was killed in a US air strike in January 2020.
