(Jewish News) The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service has lifted the interim suspension of a doctor with a history of spreading conspiracy theories about Jews and talking about “Jewish extremism,” apparently accepting her claim during her hearing that she was speaking “about Israel and Israelis,” despite considerable evidence to the contrary.
Dr Rehiana Ali was suspended last December, when the MPTS’ Interim Orders Tribunal determined to impose an interim order of suspension for a period of 18 months. However, this was overturned yesterday, with the tribunal citing article 10 of the Human Rights Act (freedom of expression). The three-person tribunal also said that it was “satisfied that there is no information before it to suggest that Dr Ali poses a real risk to public safety and, therefore, an interim order is not necessary or proportionate to protect public safety.”
