Inquiry opens into St George’s after Aimen Dean claims it singled out his daughter over fears he was a security risk
leading private schools is under investigation
Aimen Dean, who spied for British intelligence inside the terrorist network for eight years, has made a formal complaint against St George’s School in, claiming it singled out his five-year-old daughter because other parents feared he was a security risk. If the registrar, Alex O’Neill, finds that St George’s was either “objectionable” or at risk of being objectionable, Scottish ministers could impose stringent conditions on the school, ordering it to improve its policies and governance. It could also be subject to a formal inspection.St George’s said it “strongly disputed” Dean’s version of events, and was confident that the registrar would reject his allegations.
Dean and his wife, Saadia, allege that the school insisted on different drop-off and pickup times for their daughter after a handful of parents complained last October that Dean was a security risk. Several weeks earlier, he had told a Channel 4 documentary about the 9/11 attacks that he was a former member of al-Qaida.
