Since October 30, 219 activists from the group have been arrested and 98 have been charged.
More than 40 Just Stop Oil supporters have been charged after protesters blocked Whitehall and the glass covering a painting at the National Gallery was smashed.
Harrison Donnelly, 20, of Sillitoe Way, Nottingham, and Hanan Ameur, 22, of Hornsey Road, Islington, north London, have been charged with criminal damage after the protective glass on Diego Velazquez’s Rokeby Venus was smashed. Another 42 JSO supporters have been charged with obstruction of the highway after two slow marches on Whitehall on Monday.The demonstrations, part of JSO’s ongoing protest action against the Government granting new fossil fuel licences, saw more than 100 people arrested on Monday alone.The Metropolitan Police said: “Ultimately it is Londoners who are bearing the brunt and cost of Just Stop Oil’s disruption.”This is some of the congestion which JSO are causing on Waterloo Bridge.
The Metropolitan Police said an ambulance was caught in the traffic jam caused by the protest, as officers arrested activists in a bid to clear the road. A group of five JSO supporters then staged a slow march on The Strand. The Met said officers were with them and making arrests.Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
