Just Stop Oil activist Lora Johnson outside Southwark Crown Court

A JUST STOP OIL supporter has been acquitted by jury after she was arrested for dousing the New Scotland Yard sign with orange paint.

Lora Johnson, 38, appeared before Southwark Crown Court following the action in October 2022.

She was among 637 people detained by police during a period of relentless civil resistance that month, in which activists were demanding that the government halts all new oil and gas licences and consents.
