Interpol has been accused of abusing its powers after Saudi Arabia used the organisation’s red notice system to get a journalist arrested inMalaysia for insulting the Prophet Muhammad.
Police in Kuala Lumpur said Hamza Kashgari,23,was detained at the airport “following a request made to us by Interpol”the international police cooperation agency,on behalf of the Saudi authorities.
Kashgari,a newspaper columnist,fled Saudi Arabia after posting a tweet on the prophet’s birthday that sparked more than 30,000 responses and several death threats. The posting,which was later deleted,read:“I have loved things about you and I have hated things about you and there is a lot I don’t understand about you … I will not pray for you.”
