Legal Case
Zaki v. University of Manitoba
In the case of Zaki v University of Manitoba, Freedoms Advocate is supporting Rafael Zaki, a medical student who was expelled the first time from the College of Medicine because when other students anonymously complained about him sharing his beliefs on social media, he refused to recant those beliefs. Zaki then went to court successfully, and his case was sent back for a new university hearing.
Zaki needed to go back to court after being expelled again. Mr. Zaki alleged in court documents that the committee that expelled him for the second time misrepresented what happened at his university hearing and expelled him on the basis of that misrepresentation.
