Brian Reed:通过对“特洛伊木马事件”的调查,发现政府并非因为调查失误或反应过度而采取行动,而是明知举报信内容的真实性存疑,仍然选择推进相关政策和行动。这其中涉及到对阿特里小学事件的调查,以及对瑞兹万·达尔等相关人物的处理。 Hamza:对阿尔伯特·博尔等相关官员的采访和调查中,发现他们对举报信的重视程度以及言论存在偏见,对穆斯林社区的刻板印象影响了他们的判断。同时,调查过程中也遭遇了阻挠和威胁。 阿尔伯特·博尔:最初收到举报信时,他认真对待了信中指控,但调查并未发现确凿证据,也未找到信件的来源。他认为举报信中描述的步骤在多所学校中产生了预期的效果,这让他感到担忧。但他对调查报告中提到的学校问题含糊不清,难以判断具体哪些行为是不当的。他唯一能确定的不当行为是某些学校将体育课按性别分开进行。 Brian Reed:在调查过程中,发现伯明翰市议会对阿特里小学事件的回应存在回避和阻挠,相关官员拒绝提供信息或发表评论。最终,他们通过信息自由请求等方式获得了伯明翰市议会的一份内部调查报告,该报告详细描述了瑞兹万·达尔可能参与伪造辞职信的证据。伯明翰市议会在收到举报信之前就已经对阿特里小学事件进行了调查,并得出结论认为瑞兹万·达尔可能伪造了辞职信。 Hamza:在调查过程中,他们受到了威胁和阻挠,这反映了社会上对穆斯林的偏见和恐惧。他作为穆斯林记者,担心他的报道会被以不同的方式解读,影响其可信度。 阿尔伯特·博尔:对举报信的反应以及他的言论让他感到愤怒和震惊,认为其言论带有偏见,对穆斯林社区的刻板印象影响了他的判断。
