Arrested for praying: The free speech row

About this episode

Join Freddie Sayers for an exclusive deep dive with pro-life activists Adam Smith-Connor, Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, and Livia Tossici-Bolt, who share their experiences of being questioned and arrested for praying and holding signs near UK abortion clinics.


With the US State Department and the Trump administration closely monitoring Adam and Livia’s cases as critical tests of free speech, and Vice President JD Vance calling out Adam’s conviction in his 2025 Munich speech, these stories have ignited a transatlantic row over censorship and religious freedom.


Are these activists victims of a free speech crackdown, or is the UK justified in its actions?
