Two climate protesters were arrested for spraying orange paint on the ancient Stonehenge monument in southern England, according to police. The act was carried out by Just Stop Oil and was swiftly condemned by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak as a 'disgraceful act of vandalism.'
The incident occurred just before the anticipated gathering at the 4,500-year-old stone circle to celebrate the summer solstice, marking the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. English Heritage, the site's manager, expressed deep concern and stated that curators were investigating the damage. Just Stop Oil claimed on social media that the paint, made of cornstarch, would dissolve in the rain.
