Doctor with history of inflammatory rhetoric about Jews arrested
Dr Rahmeh Aladwan, who has a history of using inflammatory rhetoric about Jews, has been arrested.
It is understood that she has been arrested for three counts of malicious communications and one count of inciting racial hatred.
Dr Aladwan rose to notoriety earlier this year as some of her earlier rhetoric was revealed.
A spokesperson for Campaign Against Antisemitism said: “We have submitted numerous complaints to the General Medical Council (GMC) regarding this doctor, who is a prolific poster of the most deranged material and claims about Jewish people, and is self-evidently unfit to serve as a regulated professional. The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) inexplicably disagreed, allowing her to continue to practice as a trainee pending further investigation, and we have threatened legal action.
“But now even the Met Police — hardly the most proactive institution in the fight against antisemitism — believes that her conduct is so incendiary as to have potentially crossed the criminal threshold.
“What an absolute embarrassment to our medical regulator, and what a disgrace that it cannot see what ordinary people and even the Met Police can. Clearly, the GMC and the MPTS are unfit for purpose.”
