UK: Muslim Prisoners Risk Attack in Youth Jails
In a report from today's Guardian, the inquiry into the death of a young Muslim inmate, Zahid Mubarek, is due to reveal its findings later today. Zahid Mubarek was killed by his cellmate. Chairman of the inquiry, Mr Justice Keith, said in a note to the inquiry delegates that since 7/7, Muslim prisoners are more at risk of attack:
"The position of Muslims in prison is now high on the agenda - not simply because Zahid Mubarek was a Muslim, but also because of the significant increase in Muslim prisoners in recent years, and the possibility of reprisals against them by other prisoners in the wake of recent terrorist outrages," he said. "What steps, if any, are being taken to afford Muslim prisoners adequate protection from other inmates?"19-year old Zahid Mubarek was killed in 2000 at Feltham young offenders institution by Robert Stewart, a known racist who was in the same cell.
The inquiry seminar is the fifth of six, and the final report will be finished in February next year. Keith suggested that race relations officers should be recruited from outside the prison establshment, and suggested imams in prisons should take on a more pastoral role, as is already expected from chaplains.
