Man charged over string of anti-Muslim assaults in Edinburgh
Police charged a 36-year-old man in connection with a series of anti-Muslim attacks in Edinburgh on 19 June that wounded five men; the incidents spanned areas including Sighthill, Telford Road and Leith Walk, and authorities say the motive appears to be anti-Muslim hatred. Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the violence and vowed the suspect will face the full force of the law, as others urged unity and support for affected communities.
