Charity Commission distances itself from Telegraph warning on giving to Syria

Charity Commission distances itself from Telegraph warning on giving to Syria: Chair of the Institute of Fundraising, Mark Astarita, has accused William Shawcross, chair of the Charity Commission of “undermining giving to Syria”, after Saturday's Daily Telegraph quoted Shawcross saying some money donated to Syria “undoubtedly” went to extremist groups.

And today the Charity Commission distanced itself from the piece, saying Shawcross’ comments have been taken out of context.
