Halima Khan was the Investigations and Governance officer of the Labor Party between 2019 and 2021.
In Al Jazeera's documentary, Khan also reveals that Labour staff were “instructed to scour through Facebook pages and social media pages of individuals we were looking for anti-Semitic material for. The word ‘Palestine’ was included as a search term, which was the thing that alarmed me the most.”
