The Metropolitan Police in London has agreed to pay £10,000 in damages to Jennifer Edmunds, who was arrested at the Sarah Everard vigil in 2021. Edmunds sued the force for breaching her human rights after she was detained overnight. The charges against her were dropped 15 months later. Edmunds plans to split the damages with pro-Palestinian protesters who have been victims of police actions. The Met faced criticism for their handling of the vigil and arrests made during the event.
