Two environmental campaign groups will be allowed to take part in bids to challenge the sentences given to climate protesters for their roles in a protest which blocked the M25.
Friends of the Earth (FoE) said on Monday that it and Greenpeace UK had been allowed to intervene in support of the appeal bids of Roger Hallam, Daniel Shaw, Louise Lancaster, Lucia Whittaker De Abreu and Cressida Gethin, who were jailed in July.
