The British government has recently come forward, admitting it was “inappropriate” for lawyers’ comments in a case against a Christian street preacher, where they say parts of the Bible are “simply not relevant and considered relevant in modern society”. It would hurt to announce it publicly”.
Published in CPAD NewsOn 2 December, John Dunn, 55, a cancer survivor, was arrested on charges of “homosexuality” in November 2020 after he preached in Swindon High Street.
Last week, about a month later Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) To drop the charges against Dunn, MP Baroness Hoy took advantage of a session in the House of Lords to question the government’s assessment of the CPS’s written report on parts of the Bible.
To Hoy’s question, Lord Stewart of Tirleton (Conn), an expert in criminal law and Solicitor General of Scotland, said: CPS “A post-case study has been carried out from the Wessex region and recognizes that the report is inadequate”, it replied. 🇧🇷[A] The statement is not intended to and does not represent a change in policy CPS Published. “This does not represent a general CPS approach to cases involving freedom of thought, conscience and the right to freedom of religion and expression,” said Lord Steward.
“Going forward…if there is room for discussion of rights such as freedom of expression, such arguments will be submitted to the Senior District Attorney for signature prior to service,” he noted.
John Dunn’s Preacher spoke of Stewart’s response: “I am pleased that the government has recognized that the arguments made against me by the CPS are false. For these reasons I faced the possibility of a criminal conviction for more than two years. I believe that has happened to other Christians who unfairly find themselves on the wrong side of the law for speaking the truth of the Bible.
“It is good news for UK Christians that this Government has admitted that what happened was inappropriate and that such arguments should never be made. CPS Again,” Andrea Williams, Executive Director Christian Law Center, Dunn supported the case.
