Turin uni dean, minister call off Friday Muslim prayers

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 24 - Turin University Chancellor Stefano Paolo Corgnati and Universities Minister Anna Maria Bernini on Friday came out against an imam holding Islamic Friday prayers on the campus.
    When they learned of plans to hold a prayer meeting, they "immediately sent a request to the Prefect and Police Commissioner of Turin to warn any religious authorities that might be involved from carrying out functions and activities at the university's premises," said the Turin Politecnico university.
    Corgnati said the move had been made "in full coordination" with Bernini.
