Six protesters were accused of flouting Covid rules by attending the vigil but the Met were vilified by the public for their 'absurd and damaging' attempts to target these individuals.
Kevin Godin-Prior, 68, is accused of breaching Tier 4 restrictions by attending the vigil to remember Sarah Everard in Clapham Common, south London, on March 13 last year.
Lawyers for Patsy Stevenson, 29, have sent a pre-action letter of claim to the force, threatening legal action over its policing of the vigil and its conduct towards her in March 2021.
