Just Stop Oil to cease direct action after changes in law

Environmental campaign group Just Stop Oil announced it will cease disruptive action, following a final protest in Parliament Square on 26 April.

Just Stop Oil to cease direct action after changes in law

The campaign group revealed it would be “the end of soup on Van Goghs, cornstarch on Stonehenge and slow marching in the streets” as the group plans to “hang up the hi vis” and stop direct action.

Just Stop Oil’s initial demand was to end new oil and gas, which is now a government policy. The campaign group claimed it has kept more 4.4 billion barrels of oil in the ground, and the courts have ruled new oil and gas licences unlawful. Although it will no longer be taking direct action, it will continue to speak in court for what it calls its “political prisoners” and call out anti-protest laws in the UK.
