Police Investigating after Quran Damaged at UK School

TEHRAN (IQNA) – The British home secretary has expressed concern after the police recorded a “hate incident” at a school in West Yorkshire where four pupils allegedly caused “slight damage” to a copy of the Quran.

West Yorkshire police became involved at Kettlethorpe High School, Wakefield, after a Year 10 pupil said to be autistic was told to bring in a copy of the Islamic holy book by friends after losing a video game.

It was damaged, allegedly after being dropped in a busy corridor. Four pupils were suspended for a week and the police intervened as false rumors spread that it had been set alight.
