Dear [MP’s name],
I am writing to you as my local Member of Parliament because I am deeply concerned about the
imprisonment of trans activist Sarah Jane Baker following a speech she made at Trans Pride
London. Sarah was charged with a public order offence but subsequently found not guilty by
Judge Tan Ikram, at City of London magistrates court on 31st August 2023. Despite her proven
innocence and her not being considered a risk to the public, Sarah is still incarcerated and is
likely to remain so until at least Spring 2024. This is a clear case of injustice.
I believe that her treatment is part of a pattern of political and media stigmatisation of trans
people. The Met Police initially found that the case warranted no further action. However, Sarah
was charged after a campaign by the right wing press and an intervention from Home Secretary
Suella Braverman, who advocated for Sarah's arrest. This political interference has meant that
Sarah has not just lost her liberty, despite having demonstrated no propensity to violence since
her initial release, but it has led to Sarah being put at great risk of harm in prison.
I am particularly worried about Sarah Jane Baker being held in a male prison, which has already
exposed her to violence and sexual assault. She is a vulnerable person who must be
immediately transferred to a women's prison. Sarah talked openly at her trial in August about
what she's facing in prison currently, which includes constant violence and threats of violence
and rape from other prisoners because she is transgender, as well as a lack of access to basic
hygiene because it is not safe for her to use showering facilities.
I would be grateful if you could raise these issues in parliament. I believe Sarah deserves fair
treatment from the legal system which cannot happen if anti-trans political agendas are allowed
to interfere. I would like to hear your position on this issue and what you think should be done
about this and who should be responsible for this action. Thank you for your time and
consideration.
Best wishes,
[your full name]
