UK Terror Victims’ Day ‘Can Also Help Raise Public Awareness of Radicalisation’
The day will feature a central London ceremony and a two-minute silence, as campaigners say it will help survivors access specialist support.
- Friday marks the inaugural National Day for Victims and Survivors of Terrorism, a date chosen to coincide with the United Nations International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism.
- A Home Office review prompted the Government to establish this annual observance to support victims, families, and responders, with officials confirming the day will rotate across the country each year.
- Travis Frain, injured in the Westminster Bridge attack, championed the day to "ensure that we don't forget the people we've lost to terrorism and the people who have survived." He emphasizes public awareness of radicalization signs.
- Commemorations include a central ceremony in London on Friday featuring a two-minute silence for those lost to terror. Security Minister Jarvis stated, "We will never allow terrorism to divide us."
- The Survivors Against Terror report released Friday criticized the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority, with survivor Lisa Ghiggini arguing the process "dehumanises people" despite victims suffering 100 wounds.
