More than 130,000 people so far have signed a petition to stop a U.K. doctor from being fired after he reportedly asked a Muslim woman to remove her veil, triggering controversy and an investigation that could cost him his job.
Dr. Keith Wolverson told the Daily Mail that he has been “rather fearful of the consequences” after he was reported to the General Medical Council (GMC) over allegations of discrimination. He said he is now facing an investigation.
