More than a dozen climate protesters jailed for up to five years for their involvement in various demonstrations “did what they did out of sacrifice” and should have their sentences reduced, the Court of Appeal has heard.
Sixteen activists received prison sentences of between five years and 15 months in July and August last year for their roles in four demonstrations held by Just Stop Oil (JSO) between August and November 2022, including climbing on gantries over the M25 and throwing soup over Vincent van Gogh’s Sunflowers.
