CWN Editor's Note: A British court has sentenced a pro-life activist for standing silently outside an abortion clinic, in a case that has drawn criticism from the US State Department.
Livia Tossici-Bolt was charged with violating an order against protests at the clinic. She had stood quietly holding a sign that read: “Here to talk if you want.” She was fined £20,000 ($26,000) and given a two-year suspended sentence.
The State Department had a comment on the case: “We are concerned about freedom of expression in the United Kingdom.”
