Britain's communists call for prison sentences of Just Stop Oil protesters to be scrapped
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
THE Communist Party of Britain has called for the prison sentences imposed on Just Stop Oil protesters to be scrapped.
Five defendants, dubbed the Whole Truth Five, were jailed for a total of 21 years last week under the new Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act for “conspiracy to cause a public nuisance.”
They had disrupted M25 motorway traffic in a non-violent protest against Britain’s renewed oil and gas drilling programme in November 2022.
