Kate Middleton ricorda (in incognito) Sarah Everard

It’s a Kate Middleton tried and without a mask the one that approaches Chapham Common depositing daffodils during an exciting visit to the memorial in Sarah Everard, the 33-year-old kidnapped and killed while returning home on the evening of March 3. The Duchess of Cambridge, who remembers well what it means to walk the streets of London at night, therefore paid tribute to Everard and his family without his visit being planned. The vigil initially planned in honor of Sarah was, however, canceled at the last minute by the organizers for “lack of constructive commitment” by the Met police to ensure that the demonstration was safe due to Covid.

Officers worked hard to disperse the growing crowd. All while throughout the United Kingdom vigils have been organized in memory of Mrs Everard, a way to throw a strong message against violence against women. A fundraiser set up by the group for women’s charitable causes was less than £ 10,000 from its target of 320,000 as the virtual gathering started shortly after 6pm. Reclaim These Streets he also encouraged people to attend a door vigil at 9:30 pm, explaining that it would be necessary “to light a light, a candle, a torch, a telephone, to remember Sarah Everard and all the women killed by the violence.”

However, hundreds of people defied police requests and also gathered at Clapham Common on Saturday night, leading to some clashes with officers. A few hours later, a video began to circulate on the Net in which several agents grabbed the women inside the stage of the Chapman orchestra before taking them away, screaming and shouting. The group Sisters Uncut, who had representatives present at the demonstration, said that “male police officers waited for the sun to set before starting to grab and mistreat women in the crowd.” The metropolitan police were therefore criticized for their surveillance during the rally.
