flag Charges against Sarah White in Epping Forest protest were dropped due to insufficient evidence.

flag Charges have been dropped against Sarah White, 40, of Chigwell, after she was arrested during a protest on August 31 at Epping Forest District Council, where she unfurled a Union flag following a rally at the Bell Hotel. flag She was charged with two Public Order Act 1986 offences but not for the flag display itself. flag Essex Police confirmed the case was withdrawn ahead of a scheduled hearing on October 15, citing insufficient evidence. flag White called the prosecution unjust, claiming it aimed to silence peaceful dissent. flag The protest was part of ongoing opposition to the use of the Bell Hotel for asylum seekers, following a July incident involving an alleged sexual assault. flag A High Court hearing on the council’s legal challenge to the hotel’s use is set for the same day.
