The women’s safety activists from Reclaim These Streets wins a legal challenge against the force over its handling of the planned event on Clapham Common in March 2021
Met Police breached organisers’ rights over handling of Sarah Everard vigil, High Court rules
Reclaim These Streets brought a legal challenge against the force over its handling of the planned event in March 2021It has been an exhausting fight, we were like David and Goliath. The Met provoked this; they called us ‘naive young women’ and then gaslit us.
Ms Klingler believes the judgment will have “huge” ramifications on the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill – a major piece of legislation which includes proposals to increase police and state powers to limit protests.
Sarah Everard: Protesters demand ‘radical change’ to Met Police
Activists held traffic outside New Scotland Yard before marching to Charing Cross Police Station.
Protesters also said they opposed the Police, Crime and Sentencing Bill which, if passed, would give police greater powers to control protests.
Gina Cane of Sisters Uncut, a feminist activist group who organised the protest, said: “We reject the authority of the police, a racist misogynist institution built on coercion and control.”
