Scotland’s human rights watchdog is being sued by one of its executives for discriminating against her “gender-critical” beliefs.
Claire Methven O’Brien, an internationally renowned civil liberties expert, is taking legal action against the Scottish Human Rights Commission (SHRC), of which O’Brien was appointed a member in 2022.

O’Brien will be represented by Margaret Gribbon, the same lawyer who represented the NHS nurse Sandie Peggie.
