Vigil For Murdered Sarah Everard On Clapham Common London

Hundreds of people gathered at a peaceful vigil for Sarah Everard on Clapham Common in South London on the 13th of March 2021, London, United Kingdom. Sarah Everard went missing on 3 March after setting off at 9pm from a friends house to make her two and a half mile journey home. A police man try in vain to jsutify their handling of the event and the arrests made. The vigil was also a call to end violence against girls and women perpetrated by men. The vigil was not sanctioned by police because of Covid restrictions and the police decided to arrest a number of people in an attempt to end the peaceful and highly emotional vigil. The event took place at the band stand on the common and speeches were held from the stand till police confiscated the sound equipment.(photo by Kristian Buus/In Pictures via Getty Images)
