"I have now received confirmation from the Crown Prosecution Service that there will be no further action taken against me due to insufficient evidence. The reason there is no evidence is simple: I did not commit a crime. This was an unlawful attempt to intimidate and silence ordinary people who dare to speak out. It is unacceptable that dissent is met with force and fear. I will continue to stand up for our freedoms, for women, for children, and for this country."
"Sarah White, 40, arrived at Epping Forest District Council during a migrant protest after marching from the Bell Hotel on August 31. Essex Police said White, of Chigwell, was arrested on suspicion of two offences under the Public Order Act 1986 and later charged. The force said she was not arrested for unfurling the flag. These matters were due to be heard at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court on Wednesday October 15, but they have now been withdrawn."
Sarah White, 40, of Chigwell, unfurled a union flag from the steps of Epping Forest District Council during a migrant protest after marching from the Bell Hotel on 31 August. Police led her away and Essex Police said she was arrested on suspicion of two offences under the Public Order Act 1986 and later charged. The force said she was not arrested for unfurling the flag. The Crown Prosecution Service confirmed no further action due to insufficient evidence. White described the treatment as unjust and said the action was an attempt to intimidate and silence dissent. The Bell Hotel had been the focus of protests after an asylum seeker housed there faced a sexual assault charge, and the council's bid to block use of the hotel for asylum accommodation is due to be heard at the High Court.
