Following the filing of an appeal yesterday (12 April), the court order to stop Alfie Evans' life support has been stayed until the appeal can be heard on Monday (16 April).

Responding to yesterday’s (11 April) High Court ruling setting a time and date for the removal of Alfie Evans’ life support, Tom Evans and Kate James, Alfie’s parents, have today appealed the decision, asking the court to release their son into their care in order to access treatment abroad.

The parents of 23-months-old Alfie Evans, currently on life support at Alder Hey Hospital in Liverpool, have engaged the support of Christian Legal Centre for the last-ditch stand to prevent their son’s death in hospital.

Christian Legal Centre client, Pastor David Lynn, was released on Wednesday (21 March) without charge after being arrested outside Barking Tube Station on 20 March 2018 for preaching the gospel.

A Christian magistrate has today asked for the trial judge in his case - Heather Williams QC - to remove herself from his case because of her perceived bias and her involvement in the previous case of Celestina Mba.
