Library ban reviewed after abusive threats to councillor

News Out Of The UK on an uproar which erupted last month when a church service advertisement was banned by Wycombe library.
The meeting was the start of a process that will take legal opinion on whether the ban breaks equality policies or human rights legislation. The Commission for Racial Equality and library staff will also be consulted.

Cllr Dewar has been at the centre of an avalanche of threatening abuse since the story broke in the national press. Her email address was posted on the British National Party’s website and hundreds of abusive emails followed.

Critics, either unaware of, or ignoring the fact the ban was long-standing council policy, was not initiated by Cllr Dewar and included all faiths, accused her of being anti-Christian and pro-Muslim.
