Just Stop Oil activists protest new ‘draconian’ policing laws
Police speak with a Just Stop Oil protester in central London following the coronation ceremony of King Charles III. Picture date: Saturday May 6, 2023.

ACTIVISTS from Just Stop Oil gathered in central London today in protest against the government’s new “draconian” policing laws.

About 40 protesters marched through the capital in two groups to Piccadilly as part of the group’s daily action since April 24 to demand the government end new licences for fossil fuel projects in Britain.

Today’s action followed arrests of 64 anti-monarchy activists over the coronation weekend.
