Police conduct in arrest of Muslim congregants criticised
Loading player...
This past weekend we saw a very disturbing video on social media showing how police officers stormed a place of worship and arrested 17 of the Muslim congregants. The video has been widely circulated and shows members of SAPS shouting at the congregants for violating lockdown regulations. Several policemen are seen entering the prayer room in their boots and walking over the prayer mats. In the video, the congregants were ordered to lie on the floor and a young child can be seen amongst them. One officer can be heard making sarcastic statements in reference to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Muslims collectively have expressed their outrage. We are joined now by Dr Faisal Suliman, founder of the SA Muslim Network (SAMNET).
