Asian-origin RAF medic sues British Military for “Paki” and “terrorist” jibe cover up
September 12th, 2009 - 3:16 pm ICT by ANILondon, Sep. 11 (ANI): An Asian origin Royal Air Force medic, who was racially abused and assaulted by senior colleagues, has claimed that British military investigators tried to cover up his complaints.
The British-born medic told an employment tribunal in central London that he was called a “Paki” and “terrorist”, was grabbed around the throat and threatened with a beating while he was serving in Afghanistan in 2007.
The man, referred to as AB, also blamed the military for not dealing with his complaints properly.
The Independent quoted his legal representative Jude Bunting as saying that members of the Army’s Special Investigation Branch had purposely dragged their feet when dealing with the complaints.
However, Captain Gary Ward, who worked on the AB investigation, said the allegations were “absolutely ridiculous”.
The hearing continues, the paper reports. (ANI)
