A Christian woman who faced a trial for street preaching has been told there was ‘no case to answer’ by a district judge.

Hazel Lewis, 49, was arrested while preaching a Biblical message outside Finsbury Park tube station in North London on 12 February 2020, after false accusations were made against her by members of the public.

She was arrested under Section 4 of the Public Order Act for making homophobic and racist comments, despite evidence that these allegations were false.
