Being arrested assured Paul of a ministry he was to serve out in prison, where He was used of the Holy Spirit to enlighten. If he had "fought back" in another way  that particular mission may have gone unserved. Seems to me Peter was used in the same manner. Why he was used ever so mightily by the Holy Spirt while he was a prisoner .

1Peter 2:13  Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, 
14  or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. 
15  For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. 
16  Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. 
17  Honour everyone. Love the brethren. Fear God. Honour the emperor. 
18  Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the unjust. 
19  For this is a gracious thing, when, mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly. 
20  For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. 
21  For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. 
22  He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 
23  When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly.

She was not arrested for praying, she was arrested for breaking a law that prohibits protesting outside abortion clinics.

If you choose to break the law, don't cry after about being arrested.

 

 

Praying is not protesting.

She wasn't crying, that I saw.  She was making a stand, silently praying, answering the police honestly.
I was not aware that any country had enforceable thought laws. (Other than for politicians)
This is a first. Perhaps a test case.

In your eyes, what law did she break and what proof is there that she committed such a crime?

Its a public space protection order, apparently like the mandatory Covid shots, all engineered to force global control towards the MoB 666.

Make a note that this is in the UK.  Not the USA and they have different laws.  You can not stand in front of abortion clinics there and she was.

We should take notice of the commandment of the Lord given to us by His apostles --- by Peter and also Paul --- that we obey civil authority and the laws they establish. You'll find Peter's exhortation in 1 Peter 2, and Paul's exhortation in Romans 13.

If we elect to disobey civil authority and become lawbreakers, then we expect to face the penalty prescribed by law. As OO pointed out, this happened in the UK. It would be good to investigate a matter before making any assumptions based upon a U.S.-centric point of view.
