MUSA QUESTIONED BY POLICE

ŠIROKI BRIJEG, August 14 /SRNA/ - The Federal Police Administration /FPA/ is currently questioning Sanin Musa, who today, despite a police ban, planned to lead around 1,000 Muslims in a joint prayer in Široki Brijeg, FPA told SRNA.

FPA stated that Musa responded to the summons for an interview at the administration's premises. Musa's call for a mass religious ritual followed the release of a video purportedly showing a man in the center of Široki Brijeg forbidding a Muslim woman from praying. He did not abandon his plan to go with a group of like-minded individuals to perform prayers in Široki Brijeg in a public place, despite the local police's ban on holding such a gathering. The Široki Brijeg Police Department prohibited the religious gathering announced by Islamic theologian and Bosnian People's Party leader Sanin Musa, but he today again stated he would not give up on going to the town, and once more called for mass prayer. "Any attempt to cause tensions and any actions contrary to legal regulations will be sanctioned. The Široki Brijeg Police Department has issued a decision banning the gathering," the department said in a statement. Musa is a former member of the notorious El Mujahid detachment, which was part of the Third Corps of the so-called Army of BiH, whose members committed some of the most heinous and brutal war crimes against Serbs on Mount Ozren between May and September 1995. Testimony to the gruesome executions is the fact that of the 21 bodies exhumed from the mass grave at Stog, as many as 17 were decapitated. In March 2022, Musa was banned from entering Serbia for promoting extremist radicalism and maintaining ties with Wahhabis and Salafists from Serbia.
