Roger Hallam, the co-founder of the British environmental activist group Just Stop Oil, has been sentenced to five years in prison for organising a protest in 2022 at the M25 that disrupted traffic for over 500,000 vehicles.
Judge Christopher Hehir of Southwark Crown Court handed down the sentence. In addition to Hallam, four other activists, including Daniel Shaw, Louise Lancaster, Lucia Whittaker De Abreu, and Cressida Gethin, were sentenced. These four activists received four-year imprisonment sentences each.
