Death threats at student debate
News

Students attending a debate about sharia law at Queen Mary University in London were told they would be “hunted down and killed” by a man who burst into the lecture theatre during the debate.

The man claimed that he knew where the 40 attendees of the event lived and told them they would be tracked down if they criticised the Prophet Muhammad.

The man used his mobile phone to film the attendees before leaving and joining a large group of men outside the lecture theatre.

The meeting was subsequently cancelled and investigations into the incident by the police are ongoing.
