BRISTOL (16 February 2026) – Police arrested and visited a Christian pastor’s home after he peacefully commented on Islam and transgender ideology while street preaching in Bristol city centre.

Pastor Dia Moodley, 58, was arrested by Avon and Somerset Police officers last November in Broadmead on suspicion of “inciting religious hatred” under the Public Order Act 1986 for his speech, despite the fact that he had merely publicly shared his Christian views.

The pastor, who suffers from a heart condition, was held in a police cell for eight hours before being released under censorial bail conditions banning him from entering and therefore preaching in Bristol city centre over the Christmas period.

The bail conditions were dropped after Pastor Moodley made representations to the police, but two police officers later visited his home on Thursday 8 January, questioned him further on the November incident and invited him to a voluntary interview under caution.

With the support of his legal team, Pastor Moodley is considering whether to attend the interview. The pastor is currently waiting to hear whether he will be criminally charged for his peaceful speech.

ADF International is providing legal support to Pastor Moodley, who is considering legal action against the police for the violation of his free speech rights.

This is the second time Avon and Somerset Police officers have arrested Pastor Moodley for peacefully street preaching.

In March 2025, the pastor was twice threatened with arrest for “breaching the peace”, after preaching about the differences between Christianity and Islam while holding a Quran.

He was the victim of assault on that occasion by Muslim bystanders and one man even threatened to stab the pastor. The police have not charged any of the individuals who assaulted him.

The pastor met with the US State Department prior to that incident in March, at a meeting facilitated by ADF International, and spoke about his experience as a victim of censorship in the UK.

Pastor Moodley said: “This latest arrest has had a profoundly negative effect on me and has been extremely challenging personally.

“I am a law-abiding citizen and it feels surreal that the police have criminalised me so harshly and repeatedly merely for peacefully expressing my Christian views in the public square.

“Unfortunately, I believe that the police view me, a Christian pastor, as an easy target and are afraid of others being offended by my lawful speech. This is two-tier policing in action.”

Legal Counsel for ADF International Jeremiah Igunnubole said: “Pastor Dia’s arrest for peacefully commenting on Islam and transgender ideology shows police are using public order legislation to impose de facto blasphemy laws in the UK.

“This is far from an isolated incident. It is part of a clear pattern of behaviour from Avon and Somerset Police, who for years have targeted Pastor Dia for his peaceful expression in the public square and have failed in their duty to investigate serious crimes committed against him, by those who objected to his speech.

“The police must stop their two-tier approach of criminalising lawful speech. There has long been a pressing need for Parliament to pass legislation to ensure the right to freedom of expression is robustly protected in this country.

“Pastor Dia’s case is all the more pressing as the government finalises its broad and ambiguous definition of ‘anti-Muslim hatred’, which risks censoring legitimate speech related to Islam.

“Pastor Dia’s case shows how authorities can misconstrue peaceful comments on Islam as ‘hateful’ and criminal. This misconstruction will be repeated unless clarity is provided to preserve the ability of citizens to peacefully comment, discuss and criticise in accordance with their core beliefs.”

After Pastor Moodley’s first arrest in March 2024, the police also unlawfully instructed that his signs, which he used while street preaching, be destroyed. The police have failed to even acknowledge his formal request for compensation for the signs.

Previously, police tried to censor Pastor Moodley from commenting on any religion besides Christianity while street preaching. Avon and Somerset Police dropped these restrictions and admitted they were “disproportionate” after Pastor Moodley launched a legal challenge with the support of ADF International.

November 2025 arrest

On 22 November, Pastor Moodley was engaging in street preaching in Bristol city centre on two topics: the reality of the sex binary and the falsehood of transgender ideology, and the theology of Christianity compared to other religions, including Islam.

He often engages in dialogue with members of the public during street preaching and the vast majority of his interactions are positive, even if the people he speaks with hold different views.

On the day, Pastor Moodley had a respectful conversation on Islam with three young Muslim women.

Later on, one couple objected to Pastor Moodley’s views on transgender ideology.

The woman called the police and two officers then arrived and solely focussed on the accounts of bystanders who objected to the pastor’s preaching.

The police refused to engage with the pastor and members of his congregation and hear their account of what had happened.

The police then arrested Pastor Moodley on suspicion of “inciting religious hatred” and committing a “religiously aggravated” offence under the Public Order Act 1986, for peacefully expressing his Christian views.

The pastor has a heart condition and was sweating visibly due to the stress of the situation.

He asked for the handcuffs to be placed at the front of his body and not behind his back, which would make it difficult for him to breathe. The police officer initially appeared annoyed and reluctant to consider the request but eventually agreed.

Pastor Moodley was held in a police cell for eight hours before being released.

The bail conditions initially imposed on Pastor Moodley banned him from entering the city centre until 30 December.

These were only overturned on 17 December and prevented him from preaching in the busiest part of the city for most of December, stopped him from attending to an important pastoral matter and disrupted his personal life.

Christian woman criminally charged for silent prayer pleads ‘not guilty’ in first hearing

A Christian woman criminally charged because she “stood outside” an abortion facility in Birmingham and silently prayed appeared in court for a first hearing today and plead ‘not guilty’.

THURSDAY: Christian woman criminally charged for silent prayer to appear in court

Charity volunteer Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, who was previously cleared in court and received a payout from police for being unjustly arrested twice for her silent prayers, has been criminally charged again
Ms Vaughan-Spruce will appear in Birmingham Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 29 January at 10am, with the legal support of ADF International
Last week, US Vice President JD Vance criticised ‘when other nations throw pro-life and pro-family advocates in prison for silent prayer’

BIRMINGHAM (27 January 2026) – A Christian woman criminally charged because she “stood outside” an abortion facility in Birmingham and silently prayed will appear in court on Thursday.

Charity volunteer Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, who was criminally charged last December by West Midlands Police and the Crown Prosecution Service for silently praying in a “buffer zone”, will appear in Birmingham Magistrates’ Court for a first hearing on Thursday 29 January at 10am.

She is expected to enter a plea of “not guilty” and to receive a trial date at the hearing. ADF International is supporting her legal defence.

This is the first time someone has been criminally charged under national “buffer zone” legislation, which came into force in October 2024, under Section 9 of the Public Order Act 2023.

The new national law prohibits “influencing any person’s decision to access, provide or facilitate the provision of abortion services” within 150m of abortion facilities, but does not mention silent prayer specifically.

CPS guidance on the law stipulates that silent prayer on its own is not enough to meet the threshold of criminality unless it is accompanied by “overt” activity.

All previous court cases regarding the status of silent prayer took place in the context of “buffer zones” enforced by local authorities via Public Spaces Protection Orders, rather than through this new law.

Ms Vaughan-Spruce has previously been arrested twice for her silent prayers.

She was cleared in court in February 2023 after her first arrest, and after being arrested a second time in March 2023, the police dropped their investigation.

In August 2024, Ms Vaughan-Spruce won a payout of £13,000 from West Midlands Police after she issued a claim for unlawful arrests and the breach of her human rights.

Thursday’s court hearing follows US Vice President JD Vance commenting on “buffer zone” censorship at the Washington DC March for Life 2026 on Friday.

Vice President Vance said: “It’s why we speak up when other nations throw pro-life and pro-family advocates in prison for silent prayer. Which we’ve seen way too much, but it’s got to stop.”

The US Administration has criticised “buffer zone” censorship in the UK on multiple occasions.

Ms Vaughan-Spruce commented:

“Despite being fully vindicated multiple times after being wrongfully arrested for my thoughts, it’s unbelievable that I have yet again been charged for standing in that public area, and holding pro-life beliefs. Silent prayer – or holding pro-life beliefs – cannot possibly be a crime. Everyone has the right to freedom of thought.”

Jeremiah Igunnubole, legal counsel for ADF International, said:

“’Buffer zones’ are among the most concerning frontiers of censorship in the modern West. We all stand against harassment and abuse, but the ‘buffer zone’ law broadly bans ‘influence’ which is being interpreted by police officers to target innocent people who happen to stand in a certain place and believe a certain thing. We will continue to robustly challenge this unjust censorship, and support Isabel’s right to think and believe freely as is the right of every person in the UK.”

Investigated for a “thoughtcrime”

On 18 March 2025, West Midlands Police informed Ms Vaughan-Spruce she was under investigation for praying silently near the facility on 27 January 2025, as well as several other subsequent dates.

Ms Vaughan-Spruce has been peacefully praying in the same public area on a regular basis for two decades.

With legal support from ADF International, Ms Vaughan-Spruce sent numerous requests for clarification in proceeding months as to the status of her case, pointing out that the legislation does not function as a ban on her mere presence or on holding pro-life Christian beliefs.

The Attorney General confirmed on 16 December 2025, in response to a parliamentary question from former Home Secretary Suella Braverman MP about Ms Vaughan-Spruce’s case, that: “The Crown Prosecution Service has issued proceedings under Section 9 of the Public Order Act 2023, in relation to one case, since it was commenced on 31 October 2024.”

Ms Vaughan-Spruce had not yet received information about the charging decision when this written answer was issued by the Attorney General, but was informed hours later in a letter from West Midlands Police.

The length of time taken for a charging decision, nearly one year, was highly unusual for a case like hers.

The charge read: “[Isabel] stood outside of the Robert Clinic [the abortion facility]… intending that, or being reckless as to whether, it had the effect of influencing any person’s decision to access, provide or facilitate the provision of abortion services at an abortion clinic.”

Repeated injustice over silent “thoughtcrime”

In 2023, the charitable volunteer was acquitted in court after being arrested for praying in a local “buffer zone,” under a Public Spaces Protection Order that banned “expressions of approval or disapproval” of abortion. The incident occurred while the abortion facility was closed. The prosecution offered no evidence to support a conviction.

Despite being cleared of any wrongdoing, Ms Vaughan-Spruce was arrested again for her silent thoughts in the same location weeks later in March 2023, opening an investigation that lasted several months. In August 2024, Ms Vaughan-Spruce successfully challenged her two unjust arrests and received a settlement from West Midlands Police of £13,000.

On regular occasions, she has been approached by officers and asked if she is praying. Once, she was observed by two officers posted to watch her activities.

Glasgow Grandmother in court for offering chat in “buffer zone”

Christian grandmother Rose Docherty was arrested and criminally charged for holding a sign reading “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want” within 200m of a Glasgow hospital
Prosecution back down on “disproportionate” bail conditions; two charges relate to alleged “influencing” within the censorial “buffer zone”

GLASGOW (19 December 2025) – Glaswegian grandmother Rose Docherty appeared in court, having been criminally charged for holding a sign within 200m of the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, reading:

“Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.”

In Scotland, “buffer zones” are enforced within 200m of every hospital, forbidding harassment, intimidation, and “influencing” of anyone seeking to access abortion services.

“I should not be treated as a criminal for inviting people to chat with me – lending a listening ear."

- Rose Docherty

Docherty, 75, has been charged for “influencing” within the buffer zone, despite only having stood peacefully and silently offering consensual conversation and not having approached any individual, nor making any statement on abortion.

She is the first person to be charged under Scotland’s new “buffer zone” law, enacted in 2024.

After her arrest, Docherty was held in custody for several hours. She was refused a chair to sit on in her cell, despite making it known that she had a double hip replacement.

Following the hearing, Docherty said: “I can’t believe I am here today. I simply stood, in love and compassion, offering consensual conversation to anyone who wanted to engage.

Nobody should be criminalised just for offering a chat.

I’d like to thank my legal team, and all who came to be with me today, as well as all those others around the world who have voiced their support.

Conversation is not a crime on the streets of Glasgow.”

In a win for Rose’s liberty, the prosecution today rolled back bail conditions, previously described as “disproportionate” by ADF International, which had prevented Rose from attending an area far wider than the buffer zone itself.

The next hearing will take place on 13th January 2026.

A case of international concern

Following the arrest, which was seen on a viral video across the world, the U.S. State Department expressed concern:

“The arrest of Rose Docherty is another egregious example of the tyrannical suppression of free speech happening across Europe.

“When 75-year-old grandmothers are being arrested for standing peacefully and offering conversation, common sense and basic civility are under attack.

“The United States will always speak out against these violations of fundamental rights.”

Lois McLatchie Miller, Scottish Spokesperson for ADF International, said:

“It is not a crime to have a chat on the streets of Glasgow. Rose merely held a sign offering consensual conversations to other adults in the area. It’s deeply concerning that Scottish policing resources are being ploughed into arresting and prosecuting a peaceful grandmother offering to speak to people in public, rather than focusing on the problems caused by real crime in Glasgow.

“This is not a case about harassment, intimidation or violent protest – this is simply a peaceful grandmother, who held a sign offering to speak to anyone who would like to engage.”

The law’s architect, Gillian Mackay MSP, admitted on BBC Scotland earlier this year that the vague prohibitions in the buffer zones law could criminalise someone for praying visibly from a window in their home within the zone, “depending on who’s passing by the window.”

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance highlighted this law as a particular matter for concern in his Munich Security Conference speech in February of this year.

UK: Christian woman criminally charged for standing, silently praying

Charitable volunteer Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, who was previously cleared in court and received a payout from police for being unjustly arrested twice for her silent prayers, has been criminally charged again
Vaughan-Spruce will appear in court 29th January, supported by ADF International

BIRMINGHAM (17 December 2025) – West Midlands Police and the Crown Prosecution Service have criminally charged Isabel Vaughan-Spruce because she “stood outside” an abortion facility, where “influence” is prohibited.

The charitable volunteer has been under investigation since January for engaging in silent prayer on a public street near an abortion facility in Birmingham.

“Silent prayer - or holding pro-life beliefs - cannot possibly be a crime. Everyone has the right to freedom of thought."

- Isabel Vaughan-Spruce

This is the first charge under the new national “buffer zones”, which came into force in October 2024, under Section 9 of the Public Order Act 2023.

U.S. State Department: Arrest of Scottish Christian Grandmother is “Tyrannical”

Christian grandmother arrested a second time; criminally charged for holding a sign reading “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want” within 200m of a hospital
“The arrest of Rose Docherty is another egregious example of the tyrannical suppression of free speech happening across Europe”, warns U.S. State Department

GLASGOW (29 September 2025) – The U.S. State Department has expressed concern over the arrest of 75-year-old Rose Docherty, as seen in a viral video over the weekend.

The Glasgwegian grandmother has been criminally charged for holding a sign within 200m of the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, reading:

In August, Scottish authorities dropped their case against Docherty for holding the same sign in the same place after a global outcry against the 75-year-old grandmother’s arrest, including concerns raised in an online post by the U.S. State Department.

After her arrest this week, Docherty was held in custody for several hours. She was refused a chair to sit on in her cell, despite making it known that she had a double hip replacement.
