On the 18th December 2008 Barclays Bank served Ummah welfare Trust with a 30 day notice to close their bank account! Barlays offered NO explanation for this move, which sets an extremely precedent of disrupting Islamic charities, especialy as INTERPAL is in the process of having its bank account closed by Lloyds TSB. we must protest against the illegal move of these banks! Your support is vital for the cause of humanity,so UWT can continue its humanitarian projects across the world. Without your support it might come to a halt. please sign the petititon and FORWARD it. THANKYOU Ummah Welfare Trust is a UK registered international relief and development charity operating in over 25 countries. For further details, visit www.uwt.org

The banks still refuse to provide a clear explanation for these account closures. Call your local member of Parliament today and demand they explain why these charities are being targeted without cause.

The momentum we have built proves that people will not stand for these arbitrary account closures. Email your bank representative today and demand they reverse this decision immediately.

Ridiculous to shut them down with no reason given. They need to keep their accounts open.

Totally unfair. Banks always targeting the wrong people. UWT helps everyone regardless of anything. Stop messing with charity work!!!

This is just shameful. They do so much good work for people who have nothing. Barclays should be ashamed of themselves for doing this out of nowhere.
