London's Mayor has received increased racist and anti-Muslim online abuse concerning his green campaign
Khan who in 2016 became the first Muslim mayor of any major Western capital and is of Pakistani heritage has faced a tirade of abuse, with the majority of the vitriol tying him to tropes like “sharia law or jihad” among other racist remarks.
The research suggests much of the hate emanates from outside the UK and ranges in its levels of abuse. Amid the increased attacks in the last month, a spokesperson for Khan said he"has always faced huge levels of racist abuse online" and underscored the Ulez campaign is intended to address air quality and public health have become a"major focus of online hate in the UK and across the world."
