(Jewish News) NHS England has confirmed that the Harrow GP who heads the UK branch of newly banned Islamist terror group Hizb ut-Tahrir has been suspended.
As reported by Jewish News, Dr Wahid Shaida, who also uses the name Abdul Wahid, was GB chair of the group, which the government officially outlawed last week.
On 15 January, home secretary James Cleverly moved to proscribe the group, which he called “antisemitic” and warned it “promotes and encourages terrorism,” by putting an order before parliament which made joining the organisation illegal in the UK under terror laws.
The UK branch of Hizb ut-Tahrir was banned on 19 January. Its website has been taken down. All that remains is a statement claiming that “a legal challenge is proceeding.”
