A midwife is bringing an employment claim against a hospital trust she worked for after it lodged a Prevent referral with police over her online support for Palestine and criticism of Zionism, her lawyers have said.
Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust made the referral to the Home Office’s early intervention counter-terrorism programme, along with one to the Nursing and Midwifery Council regulator, a year after Fatimah Mohamied had resigned from her employment and following a complaint about her online activity from UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI), according to law firm Leigh Day.
