Islamic relief workers Mufti Hussain Bhayat and Haroon Saley were reportedly detained early on Monday last week during a stopover at Entebbe International Airport in Kampala. Uganda's New Vision online newspaper said they were taken for questioning by a joint anti-terrorism task force. The Muslim Judicial Council believe they are being subjected to Islam-phobic profiling and the council and the Media Review Network wanted Intelligence Minister Ronnie Kasrils to intervene. The two work for Crescent of Hope, an Islamic organisation that does charitable and relief work, and had made the stopover in Uganda on their way home to South Africa from Kenya. Mamoepa said on Sunday that the South African High Commission in Uganda had been officially informed by the Ugandan authorities of the arrest of the two, along with two Ugandan nationals. The two Ugandans had since been released. |
