Overview
- An MPTS interim orders tribunal suspended Dr Rahmeh Aladwan for 15 months after concluding her social‑media activity posed a serious risk to public trust.
- The GMC presented posts it says praised or justified Hamas and the October 7 attacks, denied sexual violence, and advanced antisemitic conspiracy themes.
- The panel admitted Metropolitan Police material noting Aladwan’s October arrest on suspicion of communications offences, including stirring up racial hatred.
- More than 200 complaints from members of the public and Jewish organizations prompted the case; a September tribunal had declined interim restrictions before the GMC re‑referred it citing escalation.
- The interim order will be reviewed within six months as the GMC investigates, with the regulator able to refer the matter to a full fitness‑to‑practise hearing; Aladwan’s counsel argues her posts were political speech, not hate speech.
