Climate extremists avoid jail time after plotting to shut down Heathrow as judge condemns publicity stunt trial
05/20/2025 / By Cassie B.



Nine Just Stop Oil activists avoided prison despite plotting to shut down Heathrow Airport by gluing themselves to the runway, receiving only suspended sentences.

The group planned to breach security with angle grinders and superglue, risking mass travel disruptions and emergency delays before police intercepted them.
Judge Hannah Duncan condemned the activists for exploiting the trial as a publicity stunt, wasting court resources needed for serious crimes.
Sentencing inconsistencies persist, with harsher penalties for other protesters while JSO members repeatedly escape jail for disruptive actions.
Just Stop Oil is part of the A22 network, a global coalition of climate extremists whose tactics endanger lives yet face minimal legal consequences.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
