SUMMARY:Isabel Vaughan Spruce
DESCRIPTION:In a viral video in December 2022\, Isabel Vaughan-Spruce was seen being searched and arrested by three police officers after saying that she “might be” praying inside her head. The area surrounding the facility nearby which she prayed has been covered by a local Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO)\, in force since November 2022\, which prohibits prayer\, distributing information about pregnancy help services\, and other activities considered to constitute “protest”.   \nAlthough she was acquitted by Birmingham Magistrates’ Court\, Isabel was arrested a second time after returning to pray near the abortion clinic. The police have imposed bail conditions on her\, which were later relaxed by West Midlands Police in April 2023. Following a six-month investigation\, West Midlands Police have confirmed that they will not bring charges against Isabel Vaughan-Spruce\, issuing an apology for the length of time to reach the decision not to prosecute her for silent prayer.  \nThis hearing has yet to be confirmed but anyone requesting online access should email a request to office@cidac.org.uk
