A woman who was dragged through a London court for alleged “hate speech” in her street preaching says she will sue the Metropolitan police after the judge ruled there was no case to answer.

Hazel Lewis, 49, was arrested outside Finsbury Park tube station in North London, where she had been preaching, on 12 February 2020.
