Case dropped against Christian volunteer who was fined as he helped the homeless during lockdown
from Christian Today:
Police have dropped their case against a Christian voluntary worker who was fined as he offered assistance to homeless people during lockdown.
Jan Niedojadlo, 56, was volunteering with the Lord’s Soup Kitchen in Taunton in April 2020 when he was slapped with a £60 fine by Avon and Somerset Police for supposedly being out of his home without a valid reason.
The Lord’s Soup Kitchen provided hot meals for the homeless in Taunton every Sunday afternoon from January to April 2020.
While volunteering with the service, Niedojadlo would meet members of the homeless community and tell them where they could find food during the lockdown. He would also pray for them and preach from the Bible.
He was preaching to one homeless woman on 4 April 2020 when he was approached by a community support officer who asked why he was out during lockdown.
