Hundreds of police raid Islamic sect based at former orphanage over allegations of rape, modern slavery and forced marriage

Hundreds of police officers have today raided an Islamic sect operating out of a heavily guarded former orphanage in Cheshire following allegations of rape, modern slavery and forced marriage.

The Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light (AROPL) was previously based in Sweden before relocating to Crewe in 2021, moving into a former orphanage.

But it has faced allegations that followers are asked to offer up their salaries or sell their possessions to contribute to the religious sect.
