Action Alert - Lloyds TSB helps to enforce the siege of Gaza - Closes Interpal account
Urgent Action Needed
Interpal is a respected UK charity which helps alleviate the agony of Gaza.
It has been thoroughly investigated by the Charities Commission (following malicious complaints by US Government) and had been given the all clear!
Lloyds TSB has added to the agony for Gazans by closing Interpal accounts - forcing the charity to close giving no reasons and ordering IBB (Islamic Bank of Britain) to cease all dealing with Interpal.

Due to great demand, Interpal has drafted letters that our supporters maypost to Lloyds TSB, the Prime Minister and the Bank of England. We wish to thank everyone for their continued support and encourage all of our supporters to keep up the pressure against Lloyds TSB’s unjustified actions.

EDM 98
03.12.2008
Lloyds TSB Plc and British Charities
“That this House notes the excellent work of the British charity Interpal in helping the Palestinians with £40 million worth of humanitarian aid development since 1994; acknowledges that Lloyds TSB Group Plc has served notice to the Islamic Bank of Britain to discontinue its services toInterpal or subsequently to face closure itself without offering any reason; further notes the wide distress that this has the potential to cause, in both the local Muslim community and the wider Arab world, since both hold the charity in particularly high regard; further notes that Interpal has withstood three previous investigations by the Charity Commission; and calls upon the Government to note the precedent this will lay down regarding any other charities Lloyds may choose to target and to ensure that this bank which is in receipt of enormous state benefit be pressurised to behave in a socially responsible manner.”
