John Sherwood, the 72-year-old street preacher arrested for “hate speech” early last year, has had the charges acquitted.
In April 2021, London police pulled the open-air preacher from his platform, cuffed, then imprisoned him, after police were flagged down by a member of the public who claimed the Pastor had made “homophobic” comments.
Sherwood’s colleague, Peter Simpson broke news of the win for freedom of speech outcome in a piece for Conservative Woman UK.
“This represents some welcome relief in the assault upon Christian liberties in contemporary Britain,” he said.
