Reclaim These Streets: Sarah Everard vigil evolves into virtual and doorstep protests

Group calls for nationwide candlelit vigil at 9.30pm on Saturday night after police block in-person events across the UK

An organiser of the London vigil for Sarah Everard has said that while the group is devastated" that in-person events had to be cancelled, it hopes that virtual gatherings and at-home vigils will have an even wider impact.

The London vigil for Everard, the 33-year-old woman whose body was formally identified on Friday, more than a week after she disappeared in south London, has been cancelled, with organisers citing a lack of constructive engagement from the Metropolitan police".
