Cordoba City Breaks Ground on New Muslim Cemetery After Years of Advocacy

While the project has come to fruition to the point of being in its launch phase today, it should nevertheless be noted that the request to build such a building had been made to the mayor of the locality, Juan Pérez, by Hamid Abqari, then president of a Muslim association, during a visit to Hamza’s family.

This is the case of this child of Moroccan origin residing in Lucena, who drowned in the Aquasierra park in Villafranca during an outing with his IES Cervantes classmates.

Located in the San Jorge cemetery area, the Muslim cemetery of Lucena, which will have an independent enclosure and a gate, will be called "Al-Yussana" and will benefit at least two thousand people from the entire region, according to the same source.
