(Local) The chief executive of a largely Muslim free school in Gothenburg has been placed in custody by the Swedish Migration Agency on the orders of the country’s Säpo security police. It follows the arrests of other imams in recent months.
He was seized on Wednesday and taken to an immigration detention centre in the city, Sweden’s Expressen newspaper reported on Thursday.
Abdel-Nasser el Nadi, chief executive of Vetenskapsskolan, is the fifth senior member of Sweden’s Muslim community to be placed in custody in less than a month.
Three prominent imams are now in custody: Abo Raad, imam of a mosque in Gävle, Hussein Al-Jibury, imam of a mosque in Umeå, and Fekri Hamad, imam of a mosque in Västerås. Raad’s son is also being held.
