Description

But are these claims even remotely accurate? Middle East Eye’s Imran Mulla takes a closer look at the Greens’ campaign, which brought together people from diverse ethnic, class and religious backgrounds around a shared political programme, and explains why it was, in fact, anti-sectarian.
