UK Conservative MP Bob Stewart Found Guilty of Racially Aggravated Public Order Offence Against Bahraini Activist

MP Stewart fined £600 and costs totalling £1,435 after court determines "racial hostility" towards Bahraini activist during confrontation outside event hosted by Bahraini Embassy.

UK Conservative MP Bob Stewart has been found guilty of racially abusing Bahraini activist Sayed Ahmed Alwadaei by telling him to 'go back to Bahrain' during a confrontation outside an event hosted by the Bahraini Embassy.
The incident, which took place outside the Foreign Office’s Lancaster House in December last year, started when Alwadaei accused Stewart of selling himself to the Bahraini regime.
Stewart, who denied the allegations of racial hostility, has been fined £600 with additional legal costs bringing the total to £1,435.
Alwadaei, who claimed he was living in exile after being tortured in the Gulf state, felt 'dehumanised' and 'not welcomed in the UK' due to Stewart's remarks.
The Metropolitan Police initiated an investigation into the matter after a complaint was filed by Alwadaei, a Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy (BIRD) activist.
