Pro-life activist arrested for praying awarded over $16K | World
A pro-life activist arrested for silently praying outside an abortion clinic has been awarded a financial settlement from police. Yet concerns remain about the rights of abortion opponents who want to silently protest the killing of pre-born babies in the United Kingdom. The law firm ADF UK announced Monday that Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, a pro-life activist who was arrested multiple times for silently praying outside an abortion clinic in England, had received a settlement of £13,000 ($16,893) from West Midlands Police as part of what the religious freedom legal nonprofit characterized as an “acknowledgment of her unjust treatment.” “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,” said Vaughan-Spruce. “Yet despite this victory, I am deeply concerned that this violation could be repeated at the hands of other police forces.”
