The Corbyn wreath-laying controversy refers to a political controversy in the United Kingdom surrounding the visit of Jeremy Corbyn to the Hamman Chott Cemetery in Tunis in 2014. On 15 August 2018, the Daily Mail published an article stating that, prior to becoming Labour Party Leader, Corbyn had been present at a 2014 wreath-laying at a cemetery which contained the graves of many Palestinian activists including Salah Khalaf and Atef Bseiso, both of whom were alleged members of the Black September Organization and were allegedly behind the Munich massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Summer Olympics.
