- خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

أطلقت الشرطة الكندية سراح شاب في الثالثة والعشرين من عمره بعد قيامه برش رذاذ ماء الفلفل على المصلين أثناء أداء قرابة 300 مسلم لصلاة التراويح بصالة الألعاب الرياضية بمدرسة الأبرار بمدينة "أوتاوا" الكندية.

وقد أكدت الشرطة أن قيام الشاب الذي يعمل موظف أمن بالمدرسة برش الرذاذ وقع عن طريق الخطأ، ولذلك تم الإفراج عنه بعد اعتقاله قيد التحقيق لليلة واحدة.

وقد قام الأطباء بمعالجة المصابين بأثر الرذاذ في أعينهم وأنوفهم، مؤكدين عدم وقوع إصابات مباشرة بالعين.

وقد طالب المركز الإسلامي الكندي المسلمين وإدارات المساجد برفع حالة الحماية الأمنية في هذه الفترة، وخاصة بعد تفجيرات "النرويج" ذات الخلفية المناهضة للمسلمين. المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Pepper spray set off at Ottawa Muslim gathering

Discharge was an accident, police say

A 23-year-old man who discharged pepper spray at a Muslim religious gathering in the city's west end was released Monday morning and not charged, after spending the night in jail.

Ottawa police made the arrest Sunday night after the spray was set off at a Ramadan evening prayer service, where the young man had been working as a security official.

Police said they determined the pepper spray was discharged by accident in the gymnasium of the Abraar School, a private Islamic school on Grenon Avenue. About 300 people were taking part in the event.

Participants called for help and everyone went outside to the parking lot.

Paramedics treated six people who complained of watery eyes, runny noses, coughing and irritated throats. The paramedics said it didn't appear anyone was directly sprayed in the eyes.

Police said there were no other threats at the event.

Muslim group not aware security official carried spray

Pepper spray, often labelled bear repellent, can be bought at most outdoor stores, provided the purchaser signs a form agreeing to only set it off to protect against an animal.

It is illegal for anyone other than law enforcement officers to use pepper spray in a situation where it might harm another person.

The event was affiliated with the Muslim Association of Canada, which says it had no idea the 23-year-old had pepper spray. The group has been using the same security company for two years and says it never had a problem before.

Last month, the Canadian Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR-CAN) was asking mosques across the country to ramp up their security. The group said it was concerned following the shootings in Norway by a man who was inspired, in part, by anti-Muslim ideology.
