A former legal worker walked free from court after a jury cleared her of racial abuse towards Muslim families.

Virginia Agraviador, 53, had screamed ‘I don’t hijab, I am happy with my miniskirt’ and ‘f**k off back to your own country’  at passers-by who wore Islamic clothing as she sat in Kensington Gardens.

A MailOnline article noted how the jury took just 33 minutes to clear Ms Agraviador of racially aggravated abuse.

Hearing the abuse, Delia Ahmed had tried to calm Ms Agraviador; but she allegedly retorted ‘Get out of my f**king face, I don’t hijab, I work for the Mother Theresa, get out, get out’.

As Mrs Ahmed walked off with her husband and two daughters, Ms Agraviador had allegedly hurled a wine bottle in her direction.

The incident happened on August 4 last year. And Ms Agraviador had been rough sleeping prior to the incident. In court, she denied the racist abuse or throwing the wine bottle in the direction of Mrs Ahmed.

Ms Agraviador has three prior convictions for racial abuse, and she had plead guilty to them.

Another video has surfaced showing anti-Muslim bigotry on what seems to be, a train to Bushey. The abuse is clearly anti-Muslim in nature though the perpetrator seems somewhat unstable and either seems to be intoxicated or may have other issues related to his well-being. The video has some explicit language on it and we would urge listeners to be aware of this.

It is the nature of the words that consistently are used. ‘Terrorist‘ and ‘bomber‘ are terms that the perpetrator uses and what is also sad, is that people can be heard laughing at the behaviour of the individual.

This is another in a line of shocking videos that have surfaced, though this case may involve someone who may be vulnerable themselves. It does however underline the abuse and rhetoric that comes from individuals when they see people that they perceive to be Muslims.

We would urge anyone who suffers anti-Muslim prejudice to get in touch with us. You can contact us on 0800 456 1226 or info@tellmamauk.org. Alternatively, you can tweet us on @tellmamauk or SMS us on 0115 707 0007.
