The Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust (JRCT) has issued a statement concerning its recent participation in a judicial review claim brought by the advocacy organisation Cage.

The claim was heard in the High Court on 21 October. It concerned the Charity Commission’s actions towards the Trust and other charities in March this year, when the Commission requested ‘unequivocal assurances’ that they had ceased funding Cage. The move followed reports that the British militant Mohammed Emwazi – ‘Jihadi John’ – had been connected with Cage.
