Americans rally outside Mohamed’s school in Texas

Ahmed Mohamed, 14, was arrested on Monday after his clock was inexplicably mistaken for a bomb

Americans have gathered outside a high school in the state of Texas to attend a public prayer in honor of an African American Muslim student who was suspended and handcuffed for bringing his homemade clock to school.

Ahmed Mohamed, 14, was arrested on Monday after his clock was inexplicably mistaken for a bomb by a teacher at MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas.

 A large number of people held a demonstration outside Mohamed’s school and expressed solidarity with him over his ordeal.

They demanded an end to all kinds of discrimination against Muslims and the black people in the United States.

Mohamed’s arrest drew strong criticism against the US police’s “discriminatory” approach towards Muslims and African-Americans.
