thugs appeared around 4a.m. when I woke up for early morning prayers.
"When they saw me, they started hurling stones at me. I turned around
and saw two of them approa-ching me with weapons.
"Others were trying to break the court's door, while some of them
instantly torched the court's building, using petroleum. I quickly ran
away to avoid being killed because I was alone."

sustained injury in the attack, said he saw the thugs in large number
on his way to the mosque, and that they attacked him with their
