The Barclays 7 outside Southwark Crown Court today
SEVEN climate protesters avoided jail sentences today for breaking windows at Barclays Bank.
The women attended sentencing at Southwark Crown Court in London for carefully cracking windows at Barclays HQ in Canary Wharf, to draw attention to Barclays’ financing of fossil fuels and to call on the bank to stop accelerating the climate emergency.
All seven women were given two years unconditional suspended sentences.
