State Department sends delegation to United Kingdom to meet with anti-abortion activists
The State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL), sent a delegation to the United Kingdom to meet with British anti-abortion activists who have been arrested for violating the country’s buffer zone law. The delegation expressed concerns over “freedom of expression” in the UK, and noted that they were “monitoring” the case of a woman facing charges for violating the buffer zone law. DRL later publicly expressed disappointment with the woman’s conviction.
