Police Raid Islamic Sect in UK, Arrest Nine on Abuse Charges

0:00On April 29th, hundreds of police officers raided in Islamic sex headquarters in Kru Cheshire, arresting nine people on charges of rape, modern, slavery, and forced marriage. The operation hit a former orphanage called Webhouse in two nearby spots just before 9 a.m., with 500 officers from multiple forces involved, backed by Europol and international partners. The group, Amadi Religion of Peace and Light, moved from Sweden to this guarded UK site in 2021. Reports say members face pressure to hand over salaries or sell belongings and about 150 followers live there, including families. Locals describe the place as intimidating, with security lights and shouts at night. During the raid, sec members and black beanie hats tried pushing past the cordon while over 50 homeschool kids are now safe with agencies. 13 others got nabbed for unrelated public order issues. All arrests center on one female victim from her time in the group, back in 2023.

1:00Police stressed this target specific allegations, not the religion itself, and there's no threat to the wider community. Ex members have long shared stories of isolation and financial demands. Searches continue with specialist teams talking to potential victims, as cops commit to justice and support for those affected. This case shines a light on hidden abuses in closed groups.
