Bob Stewart, MP for Beckenham in south-east London, told Sayed Ahmed Alwadaei ‘you’re taking money off my country, go away!’, the court heard.
MP Bob Stewart has been found guilty at Westminster Magistrates’ Court of a racially aggravated public order offence after telling an activist to “go back to Bahrain” during a protest in central London in December last year.
The 74-year-old had been attending an event hosted by the Bahraini Embassy when protester Mr Alwadaei shouted “Bob Stewart, for how much did you sell yourself to the Bahraini regime?” However, the prosecutor said Stewart “was not motivated by racial hostility”, merely demonstrating it. The Metropolitan Police launched an investigation after a complaint was made by Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy activist Mr Alwadaei, who has said he is living in exile after being tortured in the Gulf state.
Asked how he felt after their exchange last year, Mr Alwadaei said: “I feel that I was dehumanised, like I was someone who is not welcomed in the UK.”
