Austrian political scientist Farid Hafez files lawsuit against prominent American university, alleging a disinformation campaign that propagated false narratives connecting academics to Muslim Brotherhood and other Mideast groups.
George Washington University holds a congressional charter, distinguishing it as one of six universities in the United States, and enjoys a strong reputation.
Farid Hafez, an Austrian political scientist, filed the $10 million lawsuit against George Washington University and Lorenzo Vidino, the director of its programme on extremism. Foreign governments have long been accused of buying influence with large donations to US universities and think-tanks. But Hafez's lawsuit takes it further, accusing a premier higher education institution of involvement in damaging reputations on behalf of a sovereign state.
Vidino is accused of using his influential position at the university to target academics such as Hafez, businesses and charities by publishing false reports that linked them to the Muslim Brotherhood, designated as a"terrorist organisation" by the UAE.
