Sarah Everard vigil organisers ‘feel vindicated’ following High Court ruling against Met Police

The Metropolitan Police breached the rights of organisers of a vigil for Sarah Everard with its handling of the planned event, High Court judges have ruled.

Reclaim These Streets (RTS) proposed a socially-distanced vigil for the 33-year-old, who was murdered by former Met officer Wayne Couzens, near to where she went missing in Clapham, south London, in March last year.

The four women who planned the vigil brought a legal challenge against the force over its handling of the event, which was also intended to be a protest about violence against women.
