British Labor Party Suspends Former Leader Following Anti-Semitism Report

VOA News

   Britain's main opposition Labor Party suspended its former leader
   Jeremy Corbyn on Thursday after he appeared to deflect blame from
   himself after a report found the party was responsible for unlawful
   harassment and discrimination under his leadership.

   The British Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) launched an
   investigation in May 2019 following persistent complaints of
   anti-Semitism in the Labor Party under Corbyn's tenure from 2015 to
   2020, which was released Thursday.

   In its report, the EHRC said the Labor Party was responsible for three
   breaches of the Equality Act -- political interference in anti-Semitism
   complaints; failure to provide proper training to handle the
   complaints; and harassment.
