Home Secretary Suella Braverman has announced that silent prayer near abortion facilities is not a crime in the UK.
She has written to every police force in the country to clarify that “silent prayer, within itself, is not unlawful”.
Her intervention should end the harassment and arrest of innocent Christians suspected of “thought crimes” in the vicinity of abortion clinics.
The letter further reminded officers that “holding lawful opinions, even if those opinions may offend others, is not a criminal offence”.
