I would never describe a Christian silently praying as 'harassment', they are a world apart, but it seems there was a court enforced 'exclusion zone' (of 150m I think) around the abortion centre that she breached, and was arrested for. What needs clarification though is whether silent prayer can be classed as 'protest', I. E. a breach of su H orders, which IMHO, should not be. If we allow silent prayer to be legislated against, we enter dangerous territory.

There was indeed a censorship zone of 150 metres around the abortion clinic, which in itself is a big breach of freedom.
And she wasn't even protesting, she was merely thinking the wrong thoughts (praying) while being within 150 metres of an abortion clinic.
What this means is that you are not allowed to pray, not even privately in your own thoughts if you are within 150 metres of an abortion clinic.
It's absolutely crazy.
I totally agree, if they're doing this now, I can't imagine what else will be In store for us
Think silently what's in store for them
It’s also sets precedent for banning prayer anywhere that the regime feels is appropriate.
They actually had to ask her if she was praying before they arrested her....
So silent prayer is illegal in the UK?
