UK court dismisses pro-Israel case against pro-Palestine pharmacist
The High Court of Justice in London has dismissed an allegation of “anti-Semitism” by a pro-Israel group against a pro-Palestinian pharmacist based in Britain.
Pharmacist Nazim Ali stood accused by the so-called Campaign Against Anti-Semitism (CAA) of making statements “against Zionists” during an international Al-Quds Day demonstration in the British capital in June 2017.
The CAA – through the official avenues of influence used by Israel-friendly groups – had sought to strip Ali of his profession over the allegation.
The CAA had persuaded the Professional Standards Authority (PSA) and the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), the independent regulator of the pharmacy profession in Britain, to act on the matter. Ali had received two warnings on the matter.
In 2020, the CAA’s complaint was referred to the High Court.
But on Tuesday, the Islamic human Rights Commission reported that the High Court had “thrown out” the case against Ali.
The move is seen as a major setback to endeavors by pro-Israel campaigns such as the CAA to marginalize groups and individuals speaking against the regime’s conduct given the significant influence Israel-friendly groups have on the public opinion.
