Complaint upheld against Mail Online's ‘no-go areas for white people' article

The Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso) ordered the platform, which is the online version of the Daily Mail, to publish a correction accessible from its front page.

The article, published in June, reported on claims made in the book Among the Mosques: A Journey Across Muslim Britain by former Islamist radical Ed Husain.

The author said a group of white men told him they were scared to go into “no-go areas” in Blackburn like Whalley Range, with one man saying a “gang of Asian teenagers repeatedly jumped my 12-year-old son”.
