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.
