In my case, the process has become the punishment. Though I was proven innocent in a court of law for praying in my head only weeks earlier, I have now not only been re-arrested for the exact same lawful and peaceful thoughts, but also have been served expansive bail conditions that seriously impact my life,\u201d commented Isabel Vaughan-Spruce.<\/p><p>\u201cMy prayer group had decided to meet to pray outside of the \u2018buffer zone\u2019 to avoid any confusion, and yet even though they took this precaution, I have been forbidden from joining them where they are because of my bail conditions,\u201d she continued.<\/p><p>\u201cIf ever there was a case of legal insult upon injury, the repeated attempts to criminalise Isabel\u2019s prayers is it. Isabel has already been dragged through the court system simply for thinking peaceful thoughts in her own head. On her first arrest, police officers imposed unreasonable bail conditions which sought to extend an already draconian buffer zone and prevent her from speaking to a local priest. This was rightly overturned, before the CPS offered no evidence on her charges and the courts returned a not guilty verdict. Now, again, officers have used newfound powers to impose excessive bail conditions on Isabel, dragging out the length of time in which she waits to hear about her fate. This is, in effect, a sentence on Isabel through the backdoor \u2013 without reference to the prosecution or the courts,\u201d commented Jeremiah Igunnubole, legal counsel for ADF UK, who are supporting Isabel\u2019s legal defense.<\/p><p>In 2022, ADF UK and other civil liberty groups warned that broadly drafted laws under the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts (PCSC) Act 2022, will inevitably be used by police officers to erode the most basic of freedoms.<\/p><p>This concern is compounded by Free Speech Union\u2019s recent report which found that approximately 78% of the police forces are providing no or inadequate training on freedom of speech.<\/p><p>\u201cThere is now an urgent need for police officers to receive training on freedom of speech, religion and associated civil liberties. No officer should be confused about the difference between the peaceful exercise of fundamental rights such as silent prayer and criminal behaviour such as harassment and intimidation. Isabel\u2019s ordeal shows that unlimited power in the hands of an untrained police force will always lead to injustice,\u201d continued Iguunubole.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charity volunteer challenges \u201cunnecessary\u201d and \u201cdisproportionate\u201d bail conditions, including an expulsion from public spaces beyond the censorial \u201cbuffer zone\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":21203,"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-21119","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) -
