Police ‘turn blind eye’ to sharia courts in Britain

‘Privatisation of justice’ in some Muslim communities blamed as only 3pc of so-called honour crimes are successfully prosecuted

Police have been accused of turning a blind eye to the spread of sharia courts in Britain.

Newly released Government figures show that less than 3 per cent of so-called “honour crimes” were successfully prosecuted last year.

The data show the authorities are consistently failing to prosecute and prevent honour-based abuse, which can include offences such as female genital mutilation, homicide (honour killings) and forced marriage.
