Two men have been charged with racially aggravated assault and violent disorder following an attack on a Muslim man outside a mosque in west Wales.
The 30-year-old victim was punched, spat at and hit by a bottle in the attack at the Station Road Mosque in Llanelli on Sunday evening.
The two men charged appeared at Llanelli magistrates court on Thursday and were released on bail.
Eleven other people arrested and questioned by Dyfed-Powys Police in connection with the incident were released on bail pending further inquiries.
Detectives said men aged between 20 and 25 had hurled racist abuse as worshippers arrived for a gathering on Sunday evening.
A Muslim cleric, 60, who was inside the building, later died from a heart attack.
The worshippers and a group of clerics were reportedly abused as they arrived for the Islamic “family celebration” meeting inside the mosque.
One reportedly tried to pull a headscarf from a senior cleric outside the building on Station Road at around 1730 BST.
