This video captures an exchange between British lawmaker, Bob Stewart, and Sayed Alwadaei, a human rights activist who was imprisoned and tortured for taking part in a pro-democracy uprising in Bahrain in 2011. Alwadaei confronted the Conservative MP outside a reception hosted by the Bahraini embassy on Wednesday about trips he had taken that were paid for by the Bahraini government ahead of its elections. Stewart replied by telling Alwadaei ‘you’re taking money off my country’. He apologised for his remarks and said the activist had “persistently taunted me by saying I had taken money from Bahrain”. He added that he had not taken money from the country. #Bahrain #UKPolitics #HumanRights #Tories | Tory MP tells human rights activist to 'shut up' and 'go back to Bahrain'
