Three Muslim level students threaten to sue their college for stress, after they were suspended for an sending email to pupils accusing teachers of Islamophobia

Three Muslim A-Level students are threatening to sue their college for stress after they were suspended in a row over Islamophobia.

Tahyba Ahmed, Humayra Tasnim, Sumayyah Ashraf, were slapped with classroom bans after sending a four page email to all staff and pupils at NewVIc College in Newham, east London, criticising a decision to cancel a discussion on the Government's new counter-terrorism policy.

The girls' lawyer are said to have contacted the college and called for the trio's immediate return.

The girls told the Independent: 'The entire incident has caused us considerable stress and has had a significant impact on us and our families. Our revision has been significantly interrupted and we no longer feel positive about our examination results.

'And we continue to remain at a loss as to what it is alleged we have done wrong..'

Fellow students have also launched an online petition for the 'NewVIc3' to be allowed back in the classroom, which is circulating on social media.

College principal Eddie Playfair defended his decision and claimed the suspension was the result of an 'inappropriate use of college communications.'

The trio have been allowed to return to the college to sit their A-Level exams.  

The disagreement started after a talk on the Government's 'Prevent' strategy, which is being introduced in all British schools, was cancelled by college management. 

A journalist and a local politician were among the speakers, but the girls claim It was cancelled at short-notice after concerns were raised about an unnamed panel member
