‘Caged’ children freed from Islamic school.

POLICE in Zambia have stormed a secret Islamic school in which 280 children were allegedly confined in cages and forced to study military tactics and Arabic, a police officer said today.

The children, all of them teenage boys, were incarcerated at the school in a populous suburb of the capital, Lusaka, and also forced into studying Islam, one officer who took part in the operation said.

He said Iqbal Patel, an Asian man in charge of the school, was arrested and charged with “child abuse, confinement and failing to provide necessities to children”.

According to the police the boys were lured from rural areas in Zambia by a promise that they would be sent abroad after they received training at the school.

Seven of the teenagers were very sick and unable to walk, police said.
