NHS Doctor Rahmeh Aladwan Charged Over Alleged Support for Hamas
Dr Rahmeh Aladwan faces charges for online posts inviting support for Hamas and stirring racial hatred, with incidents spanning July to December 2025, police said.
- On Thursday, Metropolitan Police arrested British-Palestinian NHS doctor Rahmeh Aladwan at her South Gloucestershire home and charged her with four counts of inviting support for Hamas under the Terrorism Act 2000, remanding her in custody for a Friday court appearance.
- The arrest followed alleged breaches of police bail conditions stemming from four previous detentions, while the General Medical Council had suspended Aladwan for 15 months in 2025 during an investigation into her social media activity.
- Additionally, Aladwan faces a charge under the Public Order Act 1986 for publishing threatening or abusive material intended to stir up racial hatred, with allegations stemming from incidents on July 21, 2025 and November 19, 2025.
- Aladwan denies antisemitism, defending her online posts as legitimate political speech and claiming she is being targeted by the "Jewish/Israeli lobby," while critics accuse her of praising proscribed groups and posting antisemitic statements.
- The General Medical Council investigation into Aladwan's professional conduct remains ongoing alongside criminal proceedings, as Hamas is a proscribed terrorist organization in the UK, making it illegal to invite support, organize meetings, or display symbols in its favor.
