They arrested a woman for thinking thoughts not approved by the government. UK police drop charges, apologize to woman arrested for silent prayer near abortion business
Police in the United Kingdom confirmed last week that all charges have been dropped against Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, the woman arrested for “thoughtcrime” as she stood and silently prayed outside an abortion facility. The police also apologized to Vaughan-Spruce for the length of time it took for them to determine whether or not she would face charges.
The apology came just one week after the British Home Secretary Suella Braverman told police that “silent prayer, within itself, is not unlawful.”
The Country Formerly Known As Great Britain is more like Airstrip One every day.
Hat tip to Political Hat.
