British police told to avoid R
London: Police in Britain’s third city of Manchester have been told not to make pre-planned arrests at prayer times during Ramadan, the BBC reported on Saturday.
An internal email, listing prayer times, asked officers not to execute arrest warrants during those periods for reasons of religious sensitivity. The Muslim holy month of Ramadan is due to end next week.
The message was sent to officers in the metropolitan division of the Greater Manchester Police (GMP) force — which covers an area calls “one of the most diverse in the UK with a wide range of ethnic groups”.
A police spokesman said that a second email had been sent making clear that there was no blanket ban on arrests, simply a request for sensitivity.
GMP said in a statement: “The month of Ramadan is an important time of the year for members of the Muslim community throughout the world.
“It is important that normal, planned policing activities and operations are maintained, while ensuring that officers are professional and respectful to members of the community while going about their duties.”
