A mock trial into the UK's role in Afghanistan has "concerned" the Culture Secretary and sparked an urgent investigation.

DCMS told The Jewish Chronicle that officals have been asked to "look into" the play at Camden People's Theatre.

People’s Tribunal on Crimes of Aggression: Afghanistan Sessions features Asim Qureshi and Moazzam Begg, directors of Muslim advocacy group Cage.

The men's previous public comments on 9/11 have caused some controversy and Secretary Dowden, upon becoming aware of the production, asked for an investigation.

Cross party MPs have condemned the yet-to-be-staged play as offensive.
