She was charged with \u201c<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">p<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">rotesting and engaging in an act that is intimidating to service users,\u201d despite the fact that the abortion facility was closed during the time in which she was present and praying, and despite her clear declaration that she was not there to protest. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">The charity volunteer, who has supported women in crisis pregnancies for over twenty years, was charged for allegedly violating a Birmingham Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO), which enforces a censorship zone around the abortion facility on Station Road, Birmingham. The full text of the PSPO, banning prayer, among other activities considered to constitute protest, is available <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.birmingham.gov.uk\/downloads\/file\/24121\/robert_clinic_station_road_b30\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">here<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">. The terms of the PSPO define protest as including prayer.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/adf.uk\/is-prayer-intimidating\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">video<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> of her search, interrogation, and arrest, in which Vaughan-Spruce stated that she \u201cmight be praying\u201d inside her head, went viral.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Vaughan-Spruce\u2019s arrest preceded similar legal action in two other ongoing cases. Adam Smith-Connor was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/adf.uk\/army-vet-fined-for-praying\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">fined<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> for breaching a Bournemouth censorship zone. Father Sean Gough, a Catholic priest from Birmingham, faces a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/adf.uk\/priest-legal-battle\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">legal battle<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> for silent prayer in the same censorship zone as Vaughan-Spruce. ADF UK is supporting the defence of all three individuals.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">On 24 January, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) informed Vaughan-Spruce that her charges were <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/adf.uk\/isabel-case-update\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">dropped<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> due to \u201cinsufficient evidence,\u201d but also made clear that the charges \u201cmay well start again\u201d in the near future subject to further evidential review. This is a warning prosecutors can issue when they expect that further evidence will be received. It is as a result of this legal ambiguity that Vaughan-Spruce has pursued clarity in court. Father Gough received the same communication from the CPS and has expressed the same intention, hoping to clear his name in court.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cI am pleased to have a court date set, and to have an end in sight to this whole ordeal. It is still unfathomable that all of this has ensued from the simple act of praying in silence on the public streets of Britain. I hope for a &#8220;not guilty&#8221; verdict, not only clearing my name, but also clarifying that silent prayer is not a crime,\u201d stated Vaughan-Spruce in response to the scheduled hearing.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Jeremiah Igunnubole, L<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">egal Counsel for ADF UK, which is supporting the defense of Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, Adam Connor-Smith, and Father Sean Gough has commented:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cIt is crucial that the Court issue a clear legal verdict in the case of Isabel Vaughan-Spruce. As our Parliament continues to debate the national rollout of censorship zones across England and Wales, it is imperative that we receive legal clarity given even the police and prosecution services can\u2019t agree on what is and is not a crime. The reality is that every person should have their freedom to think and pray respected without running the risk of prosecution under vaguely worded and entirely disproportionate censorship zones\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Isabel Vaughan-Spruce is scheduled to appear before Birmingham Magistrates\u2019 Court on 16 February 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":22888,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"give_campaign_id":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[736],"tags":[899,944,909,898],"class_list":["post-21115","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-free-speech-en-gb","tag-isabel-en-gb","tag-religious-freedom-en-gb","tag-uk-en-gb"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
