INSANE: British cops arrest woman for praying silently
Christian persecution is here

Peter Sweden

At this point, Britain isn’t turning into clown land. It is turning into a dictatorship where free speech and freedom of religion is completely gone.

What you are about to read should shock anyone who values freedom to their core.

A Christian woman who is a charity worker was standing on a public sidewalk doing absolutely nothing illegal when the police showed up wanting to know why she was standing there.

She told them that she was standing there because there was an abortion clinic nearby. She was not protesting or holding any sign. She was not engaging with anyone. She was completely silent. She was merely standing on a public sidewalk close to an abortion clinic.

They then asked if she was praying. She responded that she ”might be praying in her head”. In other words, if she was praying, she was doing so completely silently so nobody could hear it. She was disturbing absolutely nobody.

That was enough – The big brave police man then decided to protect the public from this woman and her silent prayer and ARREST her for ”anti-social behavior”.

Thinking the wrong things on the streets of Britain now gets you arrested for being anti-social.

Standing on a public sidewalk while praying silently in your own mind is now ”anti-social behavior” according to British police.

Just watch the video. It is absolutely insane.

.....

Think about that for a moment. This is literal thought crime. She was arrested for her thoughts (praying). If she had been thinking about something else, she wouldn’t have been arrested. She was literally arrested for THINKING the wrong things (praying).

We are reaching levels of 1984 not previously thought possible.
She is now being charged on four counts for thinking the wrong thoughts and praying silently in her own mind.

If you don’t recognize that this is a chilling attack on free speech, democracy and everything that is decent, then I don’t know what to tell you.

What’s even worse is that politician in Britain are planning on introducing these censorship zones around all abortion facilities in England and Wales.

In a supreme court hearing in Scotland in July, the government testified that silent prayer could cause ”psychological damage”.

Even though mainstream media has largely refused to report on this shocking story, word has still gotten out and over £8000 has been raised for her legal defense.

I wonder what the policeman would have said if the woman replied, “I am silently praying for you and all police officers.”.
