Authoritarian UK Cracks Down on Free Speech Despite American Warning
A court in the United Kingdom ignored a State Department message, convicting a 64-year-old woman for peacefully protesting an abortion mill. The woman’s crime? Silently holding a sign offering to speak with women entering the clinic.
Livia Tossici-Bolt was convicted on Friday and told to pay $26,028 (20,000 pounds) in fines, according to Reuters. Tossici-Bolt was hauled before a court for holding a sign that said: “Here to talk, if you want.”
