An NHS doctor has been charged with four counts of inviting support for Hamas.

Metropolitan Police arrested Dr Rahmeh Aladwan, 31, at her home in Pilning, South Gloucestershire, on Thursday morning.

The force said that she had been detained for breaching bail conditions following previous arrests.

She was taken to a London police station, and charged under the Terrorism Act with allegedly inviting support for a proscribed group on four occasions between July and December last year.

The allegations relate to online material and comments.

Aladwan was also charged with two counts of stirring up racial hatred through both written material and words.
