Central London was brought to a complete standstill on Wednesday after Shia Muslims held a segregated religious march down London’s main shopping street.
The event was segregated by gender, with men leading the way down Oxford Street with a sea of veiled women following behind.
It was held to mark Ashura day, part of the month of Muharram – the second holiest time in the Islamic calendar when the violent death of the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad is remembered.
Commemorations usually involve re-enactments of the Battle of Karbala in 680 AD and include public professions of intense collective grief, where participants frequently self-harm and flagellate.
Across the Middle East, Muslims beat their chests and maim themselves with whips, chains, knives, and swords until they are covered in blood.
