Five Just Stop Oil<\/a> protesters, including one of its co-founders, have been jailed for conspiring to organise protests that blocked the M25 motorway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roger Hallam, an environmental activist who was one of the founding members of the group, agreed to causing disruption to traffic by having protesters climb onto gantries over the motorway for four successive days in November 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 58-year-old was joined by Daniel Shaw, 38, Louise Lancaster, 58, Lucia Whittaker De Abreu, 35, and Cressida Gethin, 22, as they were all sentenced at Southwark Crown Court on Thursday.

Hallam was sentenced to five years\u2019 imprisonment while the remaining four defendants were each handed four years\u2019 imprisonment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently, a journalist from the Sun recorded one of their planning sessions and gave it to the police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judge Christopher Hehir said the Zoom call showed \u2018how intricately planned the disruption was and the sophistication involved\u2019, and was \u2018compelling evidence\u2019 of the existence of a conspiracy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The caterwauling on the Just Stop Oil account on X is a fun read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
