David Stroud was convicted in a first-of-its-kind sex-based harassment charge in May.

EXCLUSIVE: The UK Government has been told it risks sending a 'dangerous message' that Palestinian lives are not valued by allowing an event selling land in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank to go ahead in London
