BCP Council prosecuting man for silent prayer
Share on FacebookShare on WhatsAppShare on TelegramShare on TwitterShare on WeChat

The Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole (BCP) Council in the UK is facing criticism for prosecuting a man for engaging in silent prayer within a “buffer zone” outside on an abortion clinic. The council issued a charge against the man, Smith-Connor, on May 12 but did not inform him of the charge until July, according to ADF UK (Alliance Defending Freedom UK).

Jeremiah Igunnubole, legal counsel for ADF UK, expressed concern over the council’s actions and the implications for human rights protections in the UK. He argued that censorship zones are inherently wrong and create confusion regarding the right to free thought. Both domestic and international law recognize freedom of thought as an absolute right that should not be interfered with by the state.

The council’s prosecution of silent prayer raises questions about their impartiality and the consolidation of power. Igunnubole criticized the council for acting as the judge, jury, and executioner in this case. He highlighted the importance of the Code for Crown Prosecutors, which requires prosecutors to be even-handed and protect the rights of suspects and defendants.

The encounter between Smith-Connor and the officers was recorded on his phone. One officer referred to the guidelines of the Public Space Protection Order, stating that they believed Smith-Connor was in breach of the clause related to prayer. However, the prosecution of silent prayer has been deemed concerning and a violation of freedom of thought.

A video showing the encounter is linked below from ADF.
