Peaceful, sincere man is locked away for two years for trying to save the planet
Peaceful, sincere man is locked away for two years for trying to save the planet
It’s a very sad day as a good friend and absolutely top bloke (who is in his 70s) has been sentenced to 26 months behind bars (for which he must serve 40%) and costs of £4380 for peacefully protesting to end new #fossilfuel projects.
He was denied all legal defences during the trial, including the statutory defence of ‘reasonable excuse’, as well as the defences of necessity, Articles 10 and 11 of the European Convention on #HumanRights, and implied consent.
The prosecution refused to agree to any facts on the #ClimateCrisis to be included in evidence.
He will also now lose his long held position as a Green councillor.
We’ve known for a long time that the world is fucked but this hurts.
