NHS doctor denies posting social media support for Hamas in London court
She also denied one count of stirring up racial hatred in written material and a further count of using words that were threatening or abusive.
Dr. Rahmeh Aladwan, a 32-year-old NHS doctor, denied multiple charges in a London court on Friday. She pleaded not guilty to four counts of supporting a proscribed organization and six additional charges related to online conduct. The allegations stem from social media posts made between July and December 2023, including messages praising Hamas and condemning Israel.
Aladwan was arrested earlier this year and has since faced disciplinary actions from medical regulators, leading to a 15-month suspension of her medical license. The charges follow complaints from advocacy groups like UK Lawyers for Israel and the Campaign Against Antisemitism, who argued that her posts crossed into terrorist support and antisemitic rhetoric.
The case highlights concerns over the medical community's handling of controversial online content and potential risks to public safety.
