Swedish hospital wrongfully fired doctor who complained of superior’s antisemitic bullying, court rules

A prestigious hospital near Stockholm unjustly fired a Jewish physician who had complained of antisemitic bullying by his superior, a local court ruled on Thursday, bringing what appears to be the end to a widely-covered affair that cast a spotlight on antisemitism in Sweden.

Karolinska University Hospital said it disputed the decision by the Labor Court of Sweden but would not appeal it.

The affair began in 2018, when a Jewish surgeon, who has asked to remain anonymous in court and media reports for career reasons and the possibility of family harassment, told reporters about the alleged antisemitic comments from a former department head at Karolinska.

The former department head, named Inti Peredo, had allegedly been posting antisemitic caricatures and texts on Facebook. At around the same time, he demanded that the surgeon, a seasoned physician who was among just a handful of Jewish employees at the hospital and the only Jew working under Peredo, be assigned supervision while operating.
