(FMT) – Details have emerged of rough treatment allegedly given to Shia Muslims detained in a raid by Johor Islamic authorities during a private religious event on Monday, including a claim that a gun was trained on one of them.

Witnesses told FMT that a Yemeni national who was among the eight detained in the raid by the Johor Islamic Religious Department (JAINJ) in Kempas, Johor Bahru, was attempting to leave the scene when a masked police officer grabbed him from behind and aimed a gun at his head.
