Complainants in Muslim scholar rape case being intimidated – mother

The mother of three of the boys allegedly raped by Muslim Scholar Nezaam Ali reported to the police a few weeks ago that persons have been taking photographs of her sons which she sees as an act of intimidation.

Overcome with frustration and on the brink of tears, the woman expressed the belief that attempts are being made to drive fear into her and her children. She said what is even more frightening is that two months after the police announced that charges will be reinstituted against Ali in connection with the alleged rape, he is yet to make a court appearance.
