A junior doctor who made a “slit your throat” gesture to Jewish protesters escaped suspension after a tribunal found that she had a “right to freedom of expression”.
Dr Rahmeh Aladwan, who is training to be a trauma and orthopaedic surgeon, has been allowed to continue working for the NHS after a panel of the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service said that its duty to protect members of the public “must be balanced with the doctor’s right to freedom of expression” under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
