Muslims feel they are being watched


Many Muslims living in Norway feel they are being watched as terrorist suspects by the Norwegian authorities, and are afraid they cannot speak freely.

Spokespersons for the Muslim Student Association and the Muslim Council Norway say they fear that phones are being monitored and that their e-mails are being screened by the police.

Several Muslims say they experience that they are regarded as a security risk.

The Police Security Service (PST) say they do not keep Muslims in general under surveillance, but confirm that there are groups in Norway that support terrorism abroad.
