Bob Stewart, 74, told Sayed Ahmed Alwadaei to “go back to Bahrain” during a heated exchange outside the Foreign Office
The MP for Beckenham in south-east London 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.
