A Muslim civil rights group plans to ask for a federal Justice Department investigation into the treatment of a Muslim U.S. Air Force veteran who recently returned to Oklahoma.
Adam Soltani, executive director of the Oklahoma chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations-Oklahoma City, said a news conference regarding the issue is set for 11 a.m. Thursday at the CAIR-OK office.
Soltani said that the veteran, Saadiq Long, alleges that since his return to Oklahoma, he and his family have been subjected to repeated unwanted encounters with federal law enforcement authorities, including being handcuffed and detained at gunpoint. He and his sister are scheduled to appear at the news conference.
