Climate activists who threw soup on Van Gogh painting told to expect prison time
TWO Just Stop Oil (JSO) activists who threw soup over Vincent van Gogh’s Sunflowers painting have been found guilty of criminal damage and told to expect jail time.
Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland threw two tins of Heinz tomato soup over the painting, which is protected by glass, in October 2022.
The pair then glued themselves beneath the artwork in an action to demand the then-Tory government halt all new oil and gas projects.
