FIVE Just Stop Oil (JSO) activists have been remanded to prison for conspiring to cause “public nuisance” at Manchester airport. 

Greater Manchester Police pre-emptively arrested four activists on Monday, stating that its specialist operations branch had prevented a targeted attack which would have brought “significant delays.”

Another activist was then arrested the next day in Birmingham.
