Early May of this year, street preacher, Mr Harry Hammond, a 69 year old pensioner, was holding a placard urging homosexuals to repent in the South Coast of England.

A group of homosexuals and lesbians summoned others with mobile telephones and before long Brother Hammond was being pelted with fistfuls of dirt, had water poured over his head, and was knocked to the ground. The police arrived and instead of protecting his rights to free expression, a policewoman, WPC Nicola Gandy, rather arrested Mr. Hammond. Nothing happened to the violent homosexual gang.

The Crown Prosecution Service spent £4,200 of tax payers money to bring a single witness from Australia, against Mr Hammond. Another policeman testified for the defence against WPC Gandy, but a female magistrate fined him £300 plus £395 in costs and ordered him to destroy his sign in rejection of his right to religious expression.

To call this outrage a miscarriage of justice is to say the very least an understatement. It is an attack on religious freedom where because homosexuals are offended by the moral views of tens of millions of British citizens, a 69 year old man can be knocked to the ground, arrested, and fined while the mob become the victims. Many describe this as a demonic attack on the freedom of Christians to represent views of biblical morality. We may be sure that if a homosexual or Lesbian held up a placard urging the lowering of the age of consent to a middle aged homosexual can legally sodomise a 16 year old boy, they would not be arrested or prosecuted.

Mr Hammond's case is under appeal and complaints against WPC Gandy and the Crown Prosecution Service of Dorset are being encouraged. Citizens of other countries are encouraged to write in protest to The British Ambassador in their country of residence to protest a violation of human rights, civil rights, and religious freedom and abuse of power.

Moriel Urges All to Stand With Mr. Hammond in Prayer and in Action. We ask those in the UK to write letters of complaint to The Crown Prosecution Service, The Lord Chancellor, and The Police.
