The pro-life charity 'Life' will begin legal action against Lambeth Council following the sudden removal of their stall at the Lambeth Country Show.
In a press release published on Monday, Life have accused Lambeth Council of “defamation, breach of contract and interference with our right to freedom of expression,” alleging that the dismantling of their stall by show organisers was a violation of a contract between Life and the festival's organisers that had been made in April.
According to the group, the stall had been removed without forewarning as a result of complaints made by some members of the public about a selection of foetal models that Life had placed on display. They have also made a separate allegation that a series of comments made by a Lambeth councillor regarding the incident had been deliberately inaccurate so as to retroactively justify their removal.
