Roger Hallam gets five years in prison, other Just Stop Oil co-defendants get four years – Watts Up With That?
Year Just stop the oil Protesters, including one of the co-founders, were jailed for plotting to organise protests blocking the M25 motorway.
Roger Hallam, an environmental activist and one of the group’s founding members, has agreed to disrupt traffic by having protesters climb motorway bollards for four consecutive days in November 2022.
The 58-year-old appeared alongside Daniel Shaw, 38, Louise Lancaster, 58, Lucia Whittaker De Abreu, 35, and Cressida Gethin, 22, at Southwark Crown Court on Thursday.
Hallam was sentenced to five years in prison while the other four defendants were each sentenced to four years in prison.
It appears a Sun journalist recorded one of their planning sessions and handed it over to the police.
Judge Christopher Hehir said the Zoom call showed “how intricately planned and sophisticated the disruption was” and was “compelling evidence” of the existence of a conspiracy.
