THREE Just Stop Oil activists lost their appeal today against convictions for blocking traffic by slow-walking down Earl’s Court Road.

Phoebe Plummer, Daniel Hall and Chiara Sarti took part in a 61-person protest in central London in November 2023, where they were said to have caused “significant delay and frustration amongst motorists.”

Ms Sarti and Mr Hall were each given a 12-month community order and 100 hours’ unpaid work while Ms Plummer was given three months in prison, with a further 24 months for throwing soup on Van Gogh’s Sunflowers in the National Gallery in October 2022.
