CAIR Calls For Hate Crime Investigation At University Of Connecticut
The Council on American Islamic Relations’ or CAIR’s Connecticut chapter is calling for a probe into a possible hate crime, involving two female Muslim students at the University of Connecticut.
Junior Shazeda Khatun and senior Zena Saleh said a man screamed racial slurs at them, including the N-word, as they walked to their dorm Monday night.
The women believe they were targeted because they wear headscarves.
CAIR-CT Chair Farhan Memon called the incident unacceptable and disturbing.
He said campus police should launch a hate crime investigation and urged the university to take action so an incident like this never occurs again.
