An ex-Green deputy is set to sue the party after he was sacked from his position for expressing ‘gender-critical’ beliefs, a report has claimed.
Shahrar Ali, who served as deputy between 2014 and 2016, will speak at trial tomorrow to share what he perceives as a ‘fanatical clampdown on legitimate debate’.
According to The Sunday Times, Ali claims this case is a ‘battle for the soul of the Green Party’ at a time when it has become an ‘oppressive space for freedom of speech’.
This landmark trial comes after Ali was removed as the party spokesman last February, with officials ruling that his ‘controversial’ views on trans rights did not align with the role.
Most notably, the British politician believes that gender should not be confused with biological sex which he claims is ‘immutable’.
