Roger Hallam will get 5 years in jail, different Simply Cease Oil co-conspirators get 4 years – what's occurring with that?

Five protesters from the Just Stop Oil organisation, including one of its co-founders, were sentenced to prison for conspiring to organise protests that led to the blockade of the M25 motorway.

Roger Hallam, an environmental activist and founding member of the group, agreed to disrupt traffic by having protesters climb onto gantries above the highway for four consecutive days in November 2022.

In addition to the 58-year-old, Daniel Shaw (38), Louise Lancaster (58), Lucia Whittaker De Abreu (35) and Cressida Gethin (22) were also present when they were sentenced at Southwark Crown Court on Thursday.

Hallam was sentenced to five years in prison, while the other four defendants each received four years in prison.

Apparently a Sun journalist recorded one of their planning meetings and handed it over to the police.

Judge Christopher Hehir said the Zoom call showed “the level of detail with which the disruption was planned and the sophistication with which it was carried out” and provided “compelling evidence” of the existence of a conspiracy.

The whining on the Just Stop Oil account about X is an entertaining read.

Roger Hallam gives a shockingly funny account of the events.

I have just been sentenced to 5 years in prison.

The longest period for non-violent action ever.

The crime'?

I'm giving a talk about how civil disobedience is an effective, fact-based method to stop the elite from putting so much carbon into the atmosphere that it will lead to our extinction.
