Christian woman arrested for silent prayer receives compensation from police
In a victory against UK censorship, Isabel Vaughan-Spruce – the Christian charitable volunteer who was seen being arrested twice for praying silently in ‘buffer zones’ around abortion clinics – has received a payout of £13,000 from West Midlands Police in acknowledgement of her unjust treatment and the breach of her human rights.
Isabel commented:
“There is no place for Orwell’s ‘thought police’ in 21st Century Britain, and thanks to legal support I received from ADF UK, I’m delighted that the settlement that I have received today acknowledges that. Yet despite this victory, I am deeply concerned that this violation could be repeated at the hands of other police forces.”
