The Metropolitan Police have conducted a series of coordinated raids across England, resulting in the arrest of at least 20 Just Stop Oil activists. The arrests occurred over a 12-hour period, with some individuals being detained while attending a soup night in London and others being apprehended at their homes. Six people were arrested at the soup night, and a further seven supporters were taken into custody this morning. Daniel was also arrested while staying with their parents. The police operation targeted key organizers of the group, which is known for its civil resistance against fossil fuels. The Just Stop Oil group has claimed that those arrested were merely participating in a social event and has called for support to replace technology seized by the police during the raids.
