Will there be a 6 pm curfew for men in the UK?
While the trial of Wayne Couzens, a police officer in the London Metropolitan Police Service, officially accused of kidnapping and murder, a remarkable statement on the issue came from the British lawmaker.
Organizers of a vigil for Sarah Everard are launching an emergency legal challenge against the Metropolitan police, arguing their decision to ban the gathering planned for Saturday night is unlawful.
Women organizing the Reclaim These Streets vigil planned for Clapham Common in south London accused the Met of silencing thousands of women who wanted to “stand up for our right to feel safe on our streets” after police said the gathering would be unlawful under lockdown restrictions.
Police warned organizers of the vigil – which was planned to take place in south London and at least nine other places on Saturday evening – that they could be prosecuted for conspiracy to commit a crime if they continued to plan the event, the Guardian understands and could face tens of thousands of pounds in fixed penalty notices and criminal prosecution under the Serious Crime Act 2007.
