Met Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has condemned racist, anti-Islam and misogynistic abuse aimed at PC Fiona Shaik Umar after she won an award for supporting women in policing. One person shared an AI-made image showing her with a suicide bomb. Umar led the Hijab Project, which brought in new uniform options for Muslim women officers. Rowley called it a vile world for public servants.
