A group of activists who targeted a site printing newspapers including The S*n today thanked the people of Liverpool for boycotting the paper after they appeared in court in the city.
Stuart Akroyd, of no fixed address, Rhiann Beaumont, of no fixed address, Thomas Dalton, of Church Avenue, Easton, Bristol, Lydia Dibben, of no fixed address, William Morgan, of Rushdale Road, Meresbrook, Sheffield and Roman Paluch-Machnik, of Cuckoo Dene, Hanwell, London all appeared at Liverpool Magistrates Court this week. The six activists were found guilty of one count of aggravated trespass after a two-day trial before a district judge.
The court was told that on September 4, 2020 at around 10.15pm, protesters described in court as being aligned with the climate activist group Extinction Rebellion arrived at a printing warehouse in Knowsley belonging to Newsprinters Limited, which printed The S*n as well as newspapers including the Times and Daily Mail.
