Dr Fahrat Butt says she was 'racially profiled' and 'bullied' by managers into exposing her forearms at work.
Dr Butt was challenged over having her sleeves rolled down An NHS consultant has lost a discrimination case after being told to roll up her sleeves at work. Dr Fahrat Butt is Muslim and wears a hijab, covering everything other than her hands, feet and face while in public.
This left Dr Butt ‘upset’ at being challenged and this showed in her reaction in an altercation which ‘escalated very quickly’ and during which voices were raised on both sides. The panel heard she was ‘not happy’ and ‘very upset’ at being challenged because she believed she was complying with the policy. ‘ perceived that she was being challenged by three colleagues who were supporting each other and that she had done nothing wrong,’ the hearing was told.
