The police have finally apologised to Catholic woman arrested for praying silently outside a closed abortion clinic in Birmingham.

Following a six-month investigation, West Midlands Police have confirmed that they will not bring charges against Isabel Vaughan-Spruce.

The police told her that “there will be no further investigation into the alleged matter, and there will be no further action taken”. 

They have also said sorry to her for the length of time taken to reach the decision not to prosecute her for silent prayer.
