Charges dropped for 34 Greenpeace activists who took part in plastic pollution protest outside Unilever HQ
Activists outside Unilever's headquarters in central London as Greenpeace UK blocked access to the building claiming the consumer goods company is ‘trashing the planet and harming communities’ through single-use plastics, September 5, 2024

A TRIAL of “locking on,” which would have been the largest of its kind in Britain, has been called off after all charges against the activists were dropped today.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has dismissed all charges held against 34 Greenpeace activists who blockaded the London headquarters of Unilever last September.

The activists staged the action over the multinational’s failure to tackle plastic pollution.
