SIXTEEN Just Stop Oil activists jailed for a combined 41 years for non-violent action vowed to “never give up” today.
The activists were sentenced after the former so-called independent extremism adviser Lord Walney, a lobbyist for the arms and oil industry, urged the harshest response for those resisting genocide, whether from carbon emissions or Israeli bombs.
His report, released last May, urged that groups like Palestine Action and JSO be treated like organised crime groups.
