Nine Arrested In Modern Slavery Allegations
Cheshire police arrested nine people following raids at three addresses linked to the Amadi religion of peace and light group. More than 500 officers were involved in the operation. The group claims roots in Shia Islam, though police stated they are not investigating the group itself. The arrests involve allegations of modern slavery and other offenses. The investigation involves a religious group in Kru. The source did not specify the exact location of the religious group's activities. The nine individuals in custody include six men and three women from Spain, Italy, Mexico, Egypt, Sweden, and the US.
