Rapist wins Ramadan medication discrimination case against NHS in High Court Dahir Ibrahim, a serial rapist serving a life sentence, successfully sued Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Trust for refusing to dispense his codeine medication outside daytime hours during Ramadan, violating his religious fasting rights. The High Court dismissed the trust's appeal, ruling the policy constituted indirect religious discrimination. Ibrahim, convicted of raping five women, may be released on parole soon. A Somali rapist jailed for life has won a legal battle over how medication was provided in prison during Ramadan - claiming he suffered religious discrimination. Dahir Ibrahim, convicted for raping five women at knifepoint, successfully challenged Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Trust's policy of dispensing painkiller codeine only in daytime hours, which conflicted with his fasting schedule. Despite the trust arguing that routine night-time dispensation was impractical, Ibrahim's case was upheld by the High Court, which found the policy breached his human rights and discriminated against Muslim prisoners. Ibrahim, now at HMP Whatton, is awaiting parole consideration and potential deportation.
