Rotherham Muslim groups vote to boycott South Yorks police

Members of the Muslim community in Rotherham say they are going to boycott South Yorkshire Police over what they are calling the 'demonisation' of Muslims since the publication of the Jay report into child sexual exploitation in the town.

British Muslim Youth says the findings of the report should not be used to discriminate against their community.

They say they have been made prisoners in their own homes and have accused South Yorkshire Police of turning Muslims into scapegoats.

South Yorkshire Police have yet to respond to their boycott.
