Aisha Jung disagreed with awarding prisoner of conscience status to Putin critic, saying he incited violence against Muslims
A Muslim former employee of Amnesty International has claimed she was sacked for challenging its decision to designate the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny as a prisoner of conscience despite his history of anti-immigrant statements.
Aisha Jung, 50, said she lost her job at the organisation’s London office after she objected to the award of the status, arguing that Navalny had also incited violence against Muslims.
