Five Just Stop Oil Protesters, Including Roger Hallam, Jailed for 21 Years in M25 Blockade
Jul 18, 2024, 03:42 PM
Five Just Stop Oil protesters, including co-founder Roger Hallam, have been sentenced to prison for conspiring to block the M25 motorway in England. Hallam received a five-year sentence, while the other four activists were each sentenced to four years. The protests, which took place over four days, caused significant disruption. These sentences, totaling 21 years, are the longest ever imposed for non-violent protest in the UK. The activists were found guilty of conspiracy to commit public nuisance at Southwark Crown Court. The case has sparked widespread debate about the severity of the punishment and its implications for the right to peaceful protest.
