A leading Welsh Muslim has warned that the detention of a Libyan man in Cardiff six weeks ago is damaging race relations in Wales. Mohammed Javed, chair of the Cardiff Police Advisory Committee, said the case had panicked the community.
“People in Islamic communities are asking, ‘Who is next?’,” he said. “If people can come and pick anybody without disclosing why they are doing it, it will affect race relations in Wales. This one arrest has already made quite a bit of difference to race relations here.”
