Terror police target non-Muslims amid bias fears
None
British police hunting for terrorists are deliberately stopping non-Muslims during searches to avoid accusations they overwhelmingly target Muslims, a House of Lords member said in a report published Wednesday.
Alex Carlile, who reviews anti-terrorism policies for the government, said there was evidence police are singling out people from other groups to balance statistics and counter accusations that disproportionate numbers of people of South Asian descent or appearance are searched. Britain's Muslim communities have long complained that innocent Muslims are far more likely to be targeted in searches than those from other backgrounds. (AP)
