Sarah Everard: Met Police breached rights of vigil organisers
The Met Police breached the rights of the organisers of a planned vigil for Sarah Everard, two judges have ruled.
The Group had to cancel The Event after the.
However, hundreds of people attended an unofficial gathering on Clapham Common in South London to pay their respects to Ms Everard,
The Vigil , on 13 March, saw some of those present clash with police.
At a two-day hearing at The High Court in January, Jessica Leigh, Anna Birley, Henna Shah and Jamie Klingler argued that decisions made by The Force in advance of the planned vigil amounted to a breach of their right to freedom of speech and assembly.
In a statement after the ruling, The Women 's solicitor Theodora Middleton said: " Today's judgment is a victory for women.
" Last March, women's voices were silenced. Today's judgment conclusively shows that The Police were wrong to silence us.
" The decisions and actions by The Met Police in the run-up to the planned vigil for Sarah Everard Last Year were unlawful and The Judgment sets a powerful precedent for protest rights.
" We came together One Year and One Day ago to organise a vigil on Clapham Common because Sarah Everard went missing from our neighbourhood. We felt sad and afraid.
" We were angry that women still weren't safe and we were tired of The Burden to stay safe always weighing on our shoulders. "
