Ukraine war: 102-year-old fundraiser holds silence in support of Ukrainian refugees from his garden

Speaking to Sky News, Mr Choudhury said he was moved to launch the moment of silence initiative for people who are in need and those who have died in the war."I pray for them. They should stop. They should understand each other. Fighting will never solve the problem."

"If you help anybody, you will get the benefit of it. I wish to see that the people who are quarrelling should stop their quarrelling," he added.On the 102-second silence, he said:"One minute is nothing, we are supporting them with the sign of one minute.Mr Choudhury became well known during the pandemic when he raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for COVID-19 victims and the NHS by walking every day during the month of Ramadan while fasting.

"Refugees, mothers and children are suffering. I can't just sit and wait for the war to end; we must do something now".

Are they going to Rwanda, or taking our houses, jobs, school and NHS places?
