Religious group accused of modern slavery and sexual abuse denies obstructing police officers

Amid a serious investigation into allegations of sexual abuse, forced marriage, and modern slavery within the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light in Crewe, 24 individuals have denied charges of obstructing police officers during raids. The group's denial comes amidst a growing concern over the treatment of members and the broader implications for religious freedom and law enforcement's role in safeguarding vulnerable populations. This case underscores the critical need for transparent investigations and the protection of victims in sensitive religious contexts.
