Five Just Stop Oil Protesters, Including Co-Founder, Sentenced to Four and Five Years for M25 Protests
Jul 18, 2024, 03:16 PM
Five Just Stop Oil protesters, including co-founder Roger Hallam, have been sentenced to prison terms for their role in organizing protests that blocked 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. The sentencing, which is believed to be the longest for non-violent protest in British history, was handed down at Southwark Crown Court. The activists were found guilty of conspiracy to commit public nuisance. The case has sparked debate over the severity of the punishment and its implications for the right to peaceful protest.
