£600,000 Cash Award After Bin Laden Joke

Halima Aziz was suspended from work by her employer, the Crown Prosecution Service, after allegedly commenting that she believed she was being treated "like a friend of Osama Bin Laden". An employment tribunal found the CPS guilty of race discrimination and, after a series of appeals all the way to the Court of Appeal, the matter finally returned to the tribunal for compensation to be awarded.

The tribunal awarded a record £600,000 as well as ordering that Ms Aziz be given an apology and be re-instated. It concluded that the CPS's actions were "astonishing" and that the inquiry carried out by Chief executive Peter Lewis was "a whitewash".

The CPS has said that it accepts the tribunal's recommendations.
