Dr Rahmeh Aladwan Arrested Over Social Media Posts
An NHS doctor has been charged with inciting support for the banned group Hamas. Dr Rahmeh Aladwan, 31, was snapped up by the Met Police at her home in Pilning, South Gloucestershire, earlier today for allegedly breaking bail conditions linked to previous arrests.
Serious Charges Over Online Activity
Aladwan, a British Palestinian, was hauled to a central London police station and slapped with four counts of inciting support for Hamas, plus two other serious charges. The offences cover material and comments posted online between 23 July and 31 December 2025, according to police.
Held in Custody Ahead of Court Date
She has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
Additional Public Order Act Charges
Police also charged her with publishing or distributing written material and using threatening, abusive, or insulting words intended to stir up racial hatred, or acting recklessly over whether racial hatred would be caused — a breach of the Public Order Act 1986.
