Fuad Ramiqi, leader of the Islamic Movement for Unification (LISBA), was arrested early this morning, and later in the day escorted by police to his home to be present during the raid. LISBA reacted against the arrest of Ramiqi and the imams saying that it “will organize protests and undertake legal measures in order to secure the release of those arrested”. “Today, Hashim Thaci’s police launched an action to arrest renowned imams and Fuad Ramiqi. LISBA is closely following these events. The arrests are politically motivated and those arrested are in no way involved in the charges made against them. LISBA condemns the persecution of Muslims in Kosovo and calls on Kosovo Police not to fall for the game played by politics. Kosovo Police should serve the people and cover up the crimes of certain individuals,” the LISBA reaction noted.
