A pro-life charity is to take a council to court after they say being kicked out of a country fair infringed their human rights. 

Anti-abortion organisation Life was ejected from Lambeth Country Show last month after councillors claimed their stall was not “officially allowed” to be at the event. 

The charity now says it plans to sue the council for libel and infringing its freedom of expression under human rights law. 

In a press release on Tuesday it said: “On the second day of the Lambeth Country Show, without any forewarning or discussion, Life’s stall was dismantled by the show organisers and our staff and volunteers instructed to leave. 

“This was despite our application having been approved since April, three months after its submission.”
