Workshop on increasing awareness on Palestine issue begins

The Ministry of Islamic Affairs and Maldives Palestine Brotherhood Association have started a workshop for religious scholars, to increase awareness among Maldivians on the situation in Palestine.

President of Maldives Palestine Brotherhood Association Ahmed Maumoon told reporters that the workshop will last two days.

“This workshop is conducted for religious scholars because they can easily spread this information across the country. At the end of this workshop, the information will be spread to all regions through the scholars,” he said.

Maumoon said that the workshop will be attended by about 50 people and lectures will be given by Secretary General of Palestine Scholars Union Ali Ahmed Mugbil.

Maldives Palestine Brotherhood Association was established in 2011 to increase awareness among Maldivians on the situation in Palestine, and over the years, the association has held a photo exhibition and organised two lectures on this issue.
