Sarah Everard vigil ban was breach of human rights, activists tell court

Reclaim These Streets raised tens of thousands of pounds to fund judicial review of Met's decision

Women's rights activists argued at the high court on Wednesday that the police's decision to ban a vigil for Sarah Everard in London was a breach of their human rights.

The Metropolitan police were criticised last March after using force to break up the vigil on Clapham Common, close to where Everard, 33, was kidnapped by Wayne Couzens, an officer in an elite Met police firearms unit, before he murdered her.
