Two of the men suffered blows to the head and were left unconscious; all had to go to Northwick Park Hospital. They have all been left with cuts and bruises and two have been left with facial fractures. Tory MP Bob Blackman raised the case in the House of Commons on Thursday, describing it as “religious hatred.”
The boy, the youngest known to be charged under the laws, was accused of intentionally urinating on a carpet in the library of a madrassa housing religious texts. While the local police dropped charges against the boy under pressure from the media, he and his family remain in hiding amid threats to their life.

Intimidating anonymous letters have been sent to Hindu temples around the country, warning them that “idolatry is worse than carnage”.

The letters began arriving last week, and police were immediately contacted, Multicultural New Zealand national office head of operations Gurtej Singh said.
