Amid worst riots, UK rapid response to protect mosques

LONDON: As violent riots by far-right groups continue to take place across the UK after the tragic stabbing of three young girls at a camp in Southport, the Home Office has announced the introduction of a new “rapid response” security scheme for mosques.

According to a government statement, under the new process now in place, the police, local authorities and mosques can ask for rapid security to be deployed to protect communities and allow for a return to worship as quickly as possible.
