5 Just Stop Oil protesters, including co-founder Roger Hallam, received prison sentences of 4-5 years for planning protests that blocked London's M25 motorway.

Environmentalist Chris Packham criticized the jailing of five Just Stop Oil protesters for conspiring to organize protests that blocked London's M25 motorway, calling it a "direct theft of our freedom" and a threat to democracy. The activists, including co-founder Roger Hallam, were sentenced to between four and five years in prison for planning the protests that caused significant traffic disruption and affected over 700,000 vehicles. The sentences are considered the harshest given for a peaceful protest in England, according to Just Stop Oil.
