“The reports of attacks on homes, businesses and mosques are of great concern and deeply regrettable,” it said.
While appealing for calm and peaceful relations between the communities, Dr. Al-Othaimeen urged the authorities to enforce the rule of law, investigate the incidents and bring the perpetrators to justice.
