Francesca Cociani, from Hodge Jones & Allen, which represents Delap, Bell, Johnson, and Higginson of 'Just Stop Oil' , said afterwards: “Today’s decision to imprison peaceful protesters is a grave injustice and does not align with the UK’s professed values.
“Peaceful protest is a fundamental right and a vital tool for enacting positive societal change.
“Increasingly lengthy prison terms for these types of individuals were previously unseen and it sends a disturbing message in our liberal democracy.
“We are exploring our options, including the possibility of an appeal, to challenge this decision and to defend the fundamental right to peaceful protest.” DT.
