A former official at the New York Institute of Technology’s Bahrain branch now living in Egypt can be compelled to the United States to testify in a federal lawsuit in Suffolk County, a magistrate judge has ruled. The suit was brought by a former NYIT instructor who claims he was forced out of his job by the official after others made false accusations that the instructor posted an anti-Muslim cartoon on a class website.
The instructor, Dennis Balk, claims that the official, Mohammed Hussein, made the decision to oust him and compelled him to leave the country.
