AN NHS doctor was found guilty of misconduct in a landmark case yesterday over her participation in a climate protest, despite her motivation being to protect public health.

Dr Sarah Benn protested at Kingsbury oil terminal holding a sign saying “Stop new oil” in 2022. 

She was imprisoned for 32 days after she was found to have breached an injunction obtained by Valero, a US-based oil company, against all acts of protest.
