EHRC | UK equality watchdog won't let staff say 'institutional racism', tribunal hears

A former employee at the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is alleging racial discrimination and unfair dismissal, after the watchdog body criticised its staff for speaking up about race.

In this unusual case, Preeti Kathrecha, a former senior associate, is suing the public body, saying she was “punished and silenced” for speaking up about racism and for using the term “institutional racism”.
