TOPEKA, Kan. — A soldier claims Fort Riley’s commanding general blocked his promotion because he sued the Army, alleging it violated his right to practice religion.
Attorneys for Spec. Jeremy Hall and the Military Religious Freedom Foundation refiled the federal lawsuit Wed nesday and added a complaint alleging that the blocked promotion was payback for the legal action.
The suit was filed in September but dropped last month.
Hall alleges he was denied his constitutional right to hold a meeting to discuss atheism. He says in the new complaint that his promotion was blocked after a commander sent an e-mail postwide saying Hall had sued.
