Ahmadiyya Mosque Rawalpindi: Cameras forced off

 
RAWALPINDI: 

The Ahmadi community in Rawalpindi went through another harrowing day on Friday, when hundreds of locals assembled outside their place of worship demanding the removal of barricades and closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras installed there.

A deadline of March 1 has been set by a religious group for Ahmadis to remove the CCTV cameras from around their worship place in E-block of Satellite Town, although the cameras had actually been placed there by the police to enhance security for the threatened community.

In a similar incident last month, hundreds of people surrounded the same worship centre demanding the removal of barriers around it, although they had been placed with the permission from the city government and the neighbours claimed to have had no problems with them.

Talking to The Express Tribune, a representative of the Ahmadi community said that a large number of locals gathered outside the location after Friday prayers and removed the security cameras. “I got shocked to see hundreds of people including local traders coming here at around 2pm and trying to remove the cameras. The police did not even try to stop them,” said the dejected representative.
