UN Secretary-General António Guterres strongly condemns the terrorist attack on a synagogue in Manchester, United Kingdom, today. He called the attack on a synagogue on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, a heinous crime.
"Places of worship are sacred spaces where people seek peace," the UN chief's press service said in a statement.
The Secretary-General expressed his deepest condolences to the families of the victims and wished a speedy recovery to the injured.
According to media reports, on Thursday, an unidentified man drove a car into people near the Heaton Park Synagogue and then attacked them with a knife. Two people were reported dead, and three more, according to police, are in serious condition. The attacker, who was shot by police, was also killed, journalists reported.
Guterres expressed solidarity with the Jewish community and called for those responsible to be brought to justice.
"The Secretary-General is deeply concerned about the alarming rise in anti-Semitism worldwide and stresses the need to counter hatred and intolerance in all their forms," the UN said.
