Buffer zones don't ban prayer. They balance the right of those who want to oppose abortion with those who want to access one without being harassed to use the same space at the same time. Banning public prayer from Trafalgar square because you demonise those doing it isn't balance as theres no contest for the use of the space. So this is only an issue if you don't see women or muslims as having rights...
"Buffer zones don't ban prayer," Stella Creasy claims. Meanwhile, our client Isabel Vaughan-Spruce will face trial in Birmingham for doing nothing except silently praying in her head in a buffer zone. The national buffer zone legislation used to prosecute her—Section 9 of the Public Order Act 2023—was introduced by Creasy and CPS guidance lists silent prayer as a potential offence. Creasy also voted against a specific amendment to POA 2023 which would have made it clear that silent prayer is not a crime. Isabel previously has been arrested twice for silently praying in a buffer zone imposed by a local PSPO (video of first arrest below). Our client Adam Smith-Connor was criminally convicted for silently praying in a local PSPO buffer zone in Bournemouth. The legislation used to prosecute him named prayer as a banned activity. Both Adam and Isabel were told directly by authorities that prayer was a crime and were interrogated on the nature of their prayers. Neither of these people engaged in behaviour that was harassing, obstructing or intimidating and they were not protesting either. They are peaceful Christians who merely silently prayed in a public space, as is their lawful right in a free country. The undeniable reality is that buffer zones are being used to ban silent prayer in what is the most egregious example of censorship in Britain today. They are used to censor not only speech, but also people’s most intimate thoughts, as the examples of Adam and Isabel show. This is real life thoughtcrime. If anyone supports this and pretends to care about freedom of religion, you simply should not believe them. x.com/DailyCaller/st…
