– PST driver witchhunt on devout Muslims
– It is obvious that PST engages witch hunt on me and other devout Muslims, and I see this as enough a victory over PST, says Ubaydullah Hussain told NRK.

Hussain says he doubts greatly if they had used the same procedure if the matter referred to non-Muslims.
– Having gone on yet another stinging defeat, so I hope that PST use their resources on other things than shadowing devout Muslims in Norway, he said.

– This is a right decision which in turn raises questions of security police hasty action.

– He has been almost half a year in custody now and denies having done anything punishable. Following today’s judgment by the Supreme Court, it is natural that I crave he released Friday about a week when this detention period expires, unless the PST may submit additional evidence against my client.

– The Supreme Court has made the correct and important trade-offs and determined that the press should not do police work. The protection of sources in Norway is now as strong as we thought it did, while I would say that it is a wakeup call for the press that they have to take the protection of their sources seriously at a time of so much monitoring that also has emerged in case.
