Organisers of a planned vigil to commemorate Sarah Everard and to protest over women’s safety say a Metropolitan Police decision to stop it amounts to a breach of human rights law.

A group called Reclaim These Streets organised the event after the disappearance of Ms Everard, 33, whose body was formally identified by police on Friday, prompted a public outcry about women’s safety.
