UK Tribunal Lets Doctor Accused of Antisemitic Posts Keep Practising During GMC Probe

The tribunal cited free‑speech protections under the ECHR in rejecting interim conditions sought by the medical regulator.

Overview

  • The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service ruled that Dr. Rahmeh Aladwan can continue working while the General Medical Council’s investigation proceeds.
  • The panel concluded her online statements did not amount to bullying or harassment and said they did not undermine public confidence in the profession.
  • The GMC had asked for a 12‑month interim order with restrictions, arguing Jewish patients would not feel safe under her care.
  • Aladwan’s posts were reported to include language about “Jewish supremacy,” refusal to condemn the Oct. 7 attacks, and comments widely characterized as Holocaust denial.
  • Health Secretary Wes Streeting said he has no confidence in the regulatory system, and the Campaign Against Antisemitism condemned the decision and said it is exploring legal options.
