The Atlanta Anti-Defamation League said it has intervened in the case of a Soldier at Fort Benning, Ga., who was allegedly beaten and suffered religious discrimination.

At the ADL's request, Pvt. Michael Handman has been moved to another unit, an ADL spokesman said Oct. 5.

Bill Nigut said that in September, Handman wrote to his parents and complained that he had been discriminated against. Two drill sergeants were disciplined in connection with those incidents.

Then, on Sept. 24, Handman was attacked and beaten by another Soldier. He was taken to a hospital, where he was treated for a concussion and bruises and was released, said Fort Benning spokeswoman Monica Manganaro.

Army officials do not believe Handman's beating was connected to his initial complaint, Manganaro said.
