FIVE Just Stop Oil (JSO) activists who were given record jail time after attending a Zoom call formally launched an appeal against the sentences, legal charity Plan B Earth announced today.
Roger Hallam, Daniel Shaw, Louise Lancaster, Lucia Whittaker De Abreu and Cressida Gethin were imprisoned for co-ordinating a peaceful action on the M25 over Zoom in November 2022.
The action aimed to press the government to halt new oil and gas licences, something that has since been implemented by Labour since it took office.
