Apprentice Doctor Asif Munaf Struck Off for Antisemitic, Racist and Sexist Posts

The tribunal cited sustained online abuse that revealed a deep-seated attitudinal problem.

Overview

  • The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service erased him from the register after finding 36 instances of discriminatory or seriously offensive posts between October 2023 and July 2025.
  • Examples included a post calling 9/11 "a Jewish job" and Holocaust‑minimising remarks referencing "ovens" and North London Jewish communities.
  • The panel also found he abandoned a locum shift at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire in January 2024 and issued a sick note in November 2024 while suspended.
  • Tribunal chair Kate Kirwin said there was no evidence of insight or remediation and that his conduct posed an ongoing risk to public protection; Munaf did not attend the hearing.
  • The General Medical Council welcomed the outcome, reiterating that antisemitism, sexism and misogyny have no place in medicine, and he had previously been pulled from The Apprentice spin‑off after complaints.
