Aug 19, 2024, 07:27 AM
Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, a Christian charity volunteer, has been awarded a £13,000 payout and received an apology from West Midlands Police following her arrest for silently praying outside an abortion clinic. Vaughan-Spruce was arrested twice and prosecuted, actions she claimed were unjust and a breach of her human rights. The incident has been described as a significant victory against UK censorship, with campaigners, including Lord Frost, highlighting the case as an example of wrongful arrest for 'thoughtcrime' in modern Britain.
