Environmental activists from Just Stop Oil smashed a Magna Carta casing.

Environmental activists from Just Stop Oil, an anti-fossil fuel group, have smashed the glass casing of an original copy of the Magna Carta at the British Library, causing minor damage to the reinforced box. The pair, Rev. Sue Parfitt (82) and Judy Bruce (85), targeted the document to highlight the dangers of climate change. The Magna Carta was unscathed, while the two protesters were arrested and are now in custody.
