THE Communist Party of Britain has called for the prison sentences imposed on Just Stop Oil protesters to be scrapped.
Five defendants, dubbed the Whole Truth Five, were jailed for a total of 21 years last week under the new Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act for “conspiracy to cause a public nuisance.”
They had disrupted M25 motorway traffic in a non-violent protest against Britain’s renewed oil and gas drilling programme in November 2022.
