Two Scottish studentsreceive community service for damaging historic artifacts at Edinburgh Castle during a food poverty protest.
Two Scottish students, Jamie Priest and Catriona Roberts, have been sentenced to unpaid work instead of jail time after damaging a glass cabinet containing the Crown of Scotland and the Stone of Destiny at Edinburgh Castle during a protest against food poverty. The protest was linked to the group "This is Rigged," which argued that food insecurity affects 24% of Scotland. The damage cost nearly £3,000 to repair, and the pair pleaded guilty to maliciously causing damage.
