A PhD student from the University of Western Australia has shared photographs of a pig’s head that he says he found dumped in the bathroom of a mosque on campus.
The student, named Majdi, wrote in a subsequent post:
SHOCKING NEWS FROM UWA.
This morning, around 12.20 pm, I was getting ready to do my regular prayers at UWA Mosque. As soon as I opened the toilet’s door, I found a dead pig’s head inside. The toilet is a traditional Turkish toilet used mostly by Muslims for their ablution before performing their prayers.
Needless to say, if this happened at a university, then THINGS ARE ESCALATING. Please report any suspicious incidents or people you see for the well being of our entire community.

The student alerted security, and a spokesman gave a statement to News Corp, saying:
“The University is very saddened by this deplorable act. It is concerning that people using the UWA Muslim prayer room have been targeted this way. We would like to reinforce that UWA strives to support a culturally inclusive and tolerant campus community and the University will offer help and support to our Muslim students at this time.”
The student says that police removed the head and are investigating, although thanks to a lack of CCTV cameras in the immediate area, there are few leads.
