US President Donald Trump has pardoned 23 peaceful pro-life activists jailed under the previous presidency of Joe Biden.
Mr Trump signed an executive order on the eve of the national March for Life and announced: “They should not have been prosecuted. Many of them are elderly people. They should not have been prosecuted. This is a great honour to sign this.”
He said the activists were prosecuted when they were simply exercising their rights under the First Amendment of the US Constitution, which protects freedoms of speech, the Press, religion and association.
