Human Rights Without Frontiers (HRWF) reports on the police operation at Webb House in Crewe on 29 April 2026, where members of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light (AROPL) reside. AROPL members shared firsthand accounts of their experiences during the raid and its aftermath.

Human Rights Without Frontiers (HRWF) asks: Did the BBC provided the public with a complete and balanced account of the AROPL investigation, or did it leave some of the most important questions about police accountability, proportionality and religious freedom unanswered?

“To me, as an observer, it sounded less like a case being built than a case still looking for its foundation.” This is what Hans Noot, Associate Director of HRWF, observed in the hearing at Chester Magistrates’ Court on October 22, 2026.

Following the police raid on the AROPL headquarters, Webb House, on 29 April 2026, Human Rights Without Frontiers (HRWF) published a scathing review of the rhetoric used by British Member of Parliament Connor Naismith regarding the raid and AROPL's presence in Crewe.
