The Australian counter terrorism raids launched this morning and are already brutally affecting innocent Australian Muslims.

Maywand Osman, who was detained during the raids at Waterloo Rd in Marsfield but not arrested, said: “I opened the door this morning at 4:45am to about four police officers.

“They asked me to raise my hands. I immediately raised my hands. Four officers then jumped at me and one punched me in the face.

"They threw me to the ground and started hitting me in the head and pulling my hair.

"One officer grabbed me by the hair and said, "You piece of shit’.

While they were beating me I heard one officer say, ‘Just don’t make him bleed’.

"They then went inside my house to conduct a search. They found nothing in my house and I was not under arrest or in custody at any point in time.”
