Cage, which is not a charity, has been the subject of intense media attention recently after making comments about the Islamic State terrorist “Jihadi John”, who has been revealed to be a University of Westminster graduate, Mohammed Emwazi. Asim Qureshi, research director of Cage, has said Emwazi was “a beautiful young man” and said that the UK security services played a part in his radicalisation.
The UK charity commission last Monday confirmed it had operational compliance cases open into the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust and the Roddick Foundation, which had both funded Cage.
