JSO activists spared jail after Heathrow glue plot

A group of Just Stop Oil activists have been spared jail terms after planning to disrupt Heathrow Airport after plotting to glue themselves to the runway last July.

Following a trial, the nine campaigners were convicted of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance after police stopped them from causing "unprecedented disruption" at the west London airport on 24 July last year.

The defendants had either already served the time they were sentenced to or they were handed suspended sentences.

Earlier at Isleworth Crown Court, Judge Hannah Duncan said the defendants had not breached the perimeter fence and they caused no disruption or "actual harm" but added they had shown "no remorse".
