An anti-abortion campaigner has said it is “dark day for Great Britain” after she was convicted for breaching a “buffer zone” outside a Bournemouth abortion clinic, while a charity said the case was “never about global politics”.
Livia Tossici-Bolt’s case was highlighted by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, & Labour (DRL), a bureau within the US Department of State, which posted a statement on X saying: “We are monitoring her case. It is important that the UK respect and protect freedom of expression.”
