Just Stop Oil activist Cressida Gethin found guilty of causing public nuisance.

Just Stop Oil activist Cressida Gethin, 22, a Cambridge University music student, has been found guilty of causing a public nuisance by climbing onto a gantry over the M25 motorway, protesting the UK reaching its hottest temperature on record. The protest caused significant disruption, delaying 3,923 British Airways passengers' journeys. Despite not disputing her involvement in the protest, Gethin argued that the consequence did not amount to the charge. The jury found her guilty by a majority of 10 to two.
