LONDON (VINnews) — A British doctor has been charged with multiple terrorism-related and hate offenses after allegedly expressing support for Hamas and making inflammatory remarks about Israelis, authorities said Thursday.

Police said Dr. Rahma al-Adwan, 31, an orthopedic surgeon formerly affiliated with the U.K.’s National Health Service, faces six criminal counts — four related to alleged support for a banned organization under U.K. law and two tied to alleged incitement of racial hatred.

Officers arrested al-Adwan at her home in Gloucestershire after determining she had violated conditions previously imposed following earlier legal proceedings, according to authorities. She remains in custody and is expected to appear before a London court.

The charges stem from a series of social media posts and public remarks made in 2025, including statements praising Hamas and comments described by prosecutors as threatening or abusive. Authorities also cited remarks made during a protest in central London.

Al-Adwan had previously been suspended from medical practice for 15 months by a professional tribunal, which found her public statements risked undermining trust in the medical profession, though it said there was no evidence of direct harm to patients.

Officials said additional regulatory and legal reviews remain ongoing. The case comes amid broader scrutiny in the U.K. over alleged extremist or hateful content posted online by licensed professionals.

Al-Adwan has previously denied wrongdoing.
