أسكتلندا: المسلمون يقاطعون مطار جلاسكو بسبب المضايقات الأمنية

أعلنت الصحافة الإسكتلندية أنه بسبب تعرض المسلمين بمطار "جلاسكو" لمضايقات وتحرشات أمنية - حيث يتم استهدافهم من قبل رجال مكافحة الإرهاب بصورة مسيئة وتفتيش متعلقاتهم دون عن سائر المسافرين - قررت جموع من المسلمين مقاطعة المطار، والقيام بالسفر عبر المطارات الأخرى.

وقد أكد المحامي "عمار أحمد" - أثناء اللقاء الذي عُقد بمشاركة الشرطة ومسؤولي الهجرة والحدود - أن طريقة التعامل الأمني مع المسلمين - خاصة المجتمع الآسيوي - غير مهذبة ومخيفة، وكأن هناك حالة من الكشف العرقي؛ مما جعل كل شيء بالمطار سيئ؛ فالمسلمون ليسوا إرهابيين وهذه الإجراءات المتعسفة تعوق سفرهم. المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Muslims boycott airport

GLASGOW’S Muslims are boycotting the city’s main airport and choosing to fly from Manchester because of perceived harassment from counter-terrorism officers, it was claimed last night.

The allegations were made at a public meeting called to discuss concerns held by parts of the Asian community that powers held by police, ports and immigration officials to question travellers at travel hubs were abused, with travellers singled out solely on the basis of their race or skin colour.

Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill told around 70 people at Pollockshields Burgh Hall in Glasgow that Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000 was a necessary tool in fighting global terrorism.

“But lawyer Aamer Ahmed said some Muslims had become so disillusioned at the way they were treated at Glasgow airport they decided to take their business south of the border.

"He said he would challenge police to deliver statistics on how much counter-terrorism intelligence had been delivered as a result of questioning travelers at the airport.

"He said “The questions are offensive, rude and intimidating in the way they are carried out…It seems as if there is racial profiling going on at Glasgow Airport and what people from the community are doing is using Manchester Airport and other airports to fly out.

“Everything is not fine at Glasgow Airport. People do not accept the way they are being treated. They are not terrorists and they expect to be able to go about their business”.
