The Crown Prosecution Service has been accused of pursuing a "political" prosecution by former Conservative politician Bob Stewart who was found guilty over racist comments, and then won on appeal.
The legal battle was triggered when Stewart - at the time the MP for Beckenham in south-east London - told an activist to “go back to Bahrain” during a confrontation in central London.
Stewart told Sayed Ahmed Alwadaei “you’re taking money off my country, go away” during an argument outside the Foreign Office’s Lancaster House in Westminster.
Stewart, a former British Army officer and United Nations commander in Bosnia who was MP for Beckenham from 2010 to 2024, was then found guilty in November 2023 for a racially aggravated public order offence.
