Muslim Soldier Sues MoD for Discrimination

  

A Muslim soldier is suing the Ministry of Defence over claims he was called a "terrorist" and "Paki" and was assaulted by a superior officer while serving with a unit overseas.

In a judgment delivered on 7th September 2009, the Employment Appeal Tribunal gave important guidance on the approach to be taken to national security cases in the Employment Tribunal. Judgment is due soon in the Employment Tribunal proceedings.

The claimant is represented by Jane Russell & Jude Bunting.
