British verdict will strengthen the anti-coal and climate movement
Last week the verdict came in the case against the six Greenpeace activists - Ben Stewart, Will Rose, Kevin Drake, Tim Hewke, Huw Williams and Emily Hall - who in October last year performed a protest against the Kingsnorth coal plant in the UK.
The six Greenpeace activists tried to shut down the coal plant and paint ‘GORDON BIN IT’ down the side of the coal plant’s chimney. For this they were accused of criminally causing £30,000 ($53,000) worth of damage.
But last week the UK Crown Court jury acquitted all six activists which Greenpeace says resulted in a “landmark global warming trial“. The jury “found their actions justified when considering the damage to property caused around the world by CO2 emissions from the plant”.
