Family of missing woman hope raid on UK-based sect will bring answers

As he watched the footage of a convoy of police vehicles driving through the security gates of the headquarters of a religious sect, AbdelRahman Hashem felt a glimmer of hope. Maybe now his two children would get answers to what happened to their mother.
The last time the children heard from her was seven years ago. In an email sent from a budget hotel in India, she had written: “Mommy loves and misses them so much, so very much … they are both my best friends and my favorite people in the whole world.” Two days later, she disappeared.
po was 30 when she vanished during a trip to Kerala, India, in March 2019. She was a member of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light (AROPL), an Islamic sect based in a former orphanage in Crewe, in the north-west of England.
In April, 500 police officers raided the sect’s headquarters. Twelve people were arrested on suspicion of a range of offences including modern-day slavery, human trafficking, forced marriage and rape. All 12 have now been bailed pending further inquiries.
The police investigation, code-named Operation Decker, has targeted individuals and not the religious group as a whole. It centres on allegations from a woman now in the Republic of Ireland. It has nothing to do with Wiese, and AROPL previously told the Guardian that it did not have any information about her disappearance.
