Shahrar Ali

Mohammad Shahrar Ali, known as Shahrar Ali (), is a British politician and university manager who served as deputy leader of the Green Party of England and Wales from 2014 to 2016.

He stood for election to be leader of the Green Party in 2018, 2020 and 2021. His public statements on transgender issues and appointment in 2021 as the party's policing and domestic safety spokesperson were believed to be reasons for the party's co-leader Siân Berry stepping down.

In February 2022, Ali launched legal action against the Green Party alleging discrimination of gender-critical belief under the Equality Act 2010. He was subsequently removed from his position as a party spokesperson for alleged breaches of the Speakers’ Code of Conduct. He took legal action over his removal: the Judge ruled that his dismissal was procedurally unfair and that Ali had been subjected to "unlawful discrimination" as a result, but also upheld the party's right to dismiss spokespeople whose views were found to differ from party policy.

In September 2024, Ali was expelled by the Green Party, with the party telling him that any future readmission would be subject to him publicly retracting tweets that had been complained about and undertaking safeguarding training. Provided by Wikipedia
