(Middle East Eye) A London hospital reported a former midwife to Prevent and the nursing regulator more than a year after she had left her job, following a complaint from UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) over her social media posts describing Israel’s actions in Gaza as a genocide.
Fatimah Mohamied, who worked at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust for five years until March 2024, was shocked to discover that her former employer had referred her to both the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and the UK government’s Prevent counterterrorism programme almost a year later, in March 2025.
Both referrals followed a letter from UKLFI accusing her of supporting a terrorist group, bullying and “stirring up racial hatred” over blog and social media posts critical of Zionism and an article written by two Jewish midwives.
