EXCERPT:
A High Court judge has overturned the conviction of veteran pro‑life campaigner David Skinner, for sending an email with graphic images opposing abortion and censorship zones around clinics in Bournemouth.
On Friday 24 May Mr Justice Saini ruled that although the offence was technically made out under domestic law, maintaining a criminal conviction would amount to a disproportionate interference with freedom of expression and freedom of religion.
The judgment was handed down on Friday 24 May in Bournemouth, bringing to an end a criminal proceedings that have lasted nearly 3 years, as the court said the case raised fundamental constitutional issues under Articles 9 and 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
