🚨 NO PRISON FOR RADCLIFFE CAMERA SPRAYERS In October 2023, Daniel Knorr and Noah Crane sprayed orange paint over the historic Oxford University building. Today they were handed suspended sentences of 20 weeks and 16 weeks. At the start of their trial they were denied all legal defences by the judge, who claimed "this is a court of law not a court of sympathy". The Judge also suggested that if they didn't change their plea to guilty, he would imprison them. After this, Noah chose to plead guilty, while Daniel continued with the trial.

BREAKING: NOT GUILTY FOR SLOW MARCHING 7 Just Stop Oil supporters were found not guilty today by a majority jury verdict. This was the fourth acquittal this year for the 2023 slow marches. In 2023 Sam Griffiths was remanded for 21 days for his action on Cromwell Road which lasted 16 minutes. Following the verdict Jamie Russell, 52, from Shrewsbury said: "In our evidence we included a report by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries which states that if we hit 2C by 2050 we will see two billion deaths. The CPS and the judge allowed this to go into 'Agreed Facts' – meaning it was not in dispute. When faced with mass death on this scale, what else can ordinary people do but enter into civil resistance?’" More details in the press release: juststopoil.org/2026/09/22/s…

Reverend Sue Parfitt talking to @metpoliceuk before she was arrested on Wednesday šŸ˜ The 84 year old retired priest was one of 60 people arrested taking nonviolent action with Just Stop Oil. Whilst in custody, she had her home raided in connection with @DefendOurJuries. Over the last 36 hours, people have been released and subject to draconian bail conditions. This is how the state treats people standing against them. One person remains in custody, held to appear in court. Meanwhile, it's now clear the government will be approving Jackdaw, and the official announcement will come soon. Approving oil and gas projects is a death sentence, and Andy Burnham knows this. The UK gov must stop prioritising endless growth, corporate profits and the wealth of billionaires over the lives of billions of people.

REV SUE RAIDED WHILST HELD IN CUSTODY 84 year old retired priest Reverend Sue Parfitt had her home raided in connection with @DefendOurJuries whilst being held in custody for taking action with Just Stop Oil. This is what the escalating state crackdown on peaceful resistance looks like. Arrest, detention, train tickets confiscated, restrictive bail conditions, your home raided, and the criminalisation of people who refuse to stay silent while our government fails to protect us.

They really don't want us back. As people are released after taking nonviolent action yesterday, we're witnessing the draconian bail conditions @metpoliceuk are imposing on them. Some people are being banned from communicating with their codefendants. Some are banned from the city of Westminster, which is a clear interference with the democratic right to speak to your MP in Parliament. Multiple people had their train tickets, senior railcards and oyster cards confiscated, before being released between 3-5am with no means of communication or way home. Why? One custody officer told an arrestee they didn't know, only that the orders "came from on high". This approach is disgraceful. When we take nonviolent action, we expect to be arrested. But this response shows how rattled the government are - they'd rather silence people than take meaningful action to save billions of lives. Approving oil and gas projects is a death sentence.

ā€œThis summer’s been unbearable for a lot of people… and Members of Parliament are still continuing to consider new oil and gas projects.ā€ Just Stop Oil has taken to the streets outside Westminster once again. Speaking directly from the road, campaigner Cameron called out the government's continued expansion of fossil fuels while ordinary people face deadly heat, crop loss, and destruction. With 75% of the public demanding decisive action on the climate crisis, the message is clear: the public can’t rely on the same few people to take a stand. It’s time to get off the sidelines and demand an end to new oil and gas. #JustStopOil #ClimateCrisis #Westminster #ClimateEmergency #TheCanary

🚨 FINAL ARRESTS IN PARLIAMENT SQUARE All 60 people blocking the roads have now been arrested. Once again we've been putting our bodies on the line, risking arrest and even imprisonment, because we do not consent to plans that will result in 3C of warming and mass death. One of the last to be arrested was Jo, who sat in the road for over 4 hours. Listen to her explain why she took action today. We are all Just Stop Oil now.

Just Stop Oil has returned after previously announcing they were "hanging up the hi-vis" in March 2025. As Andy Burnham prepared to take his first prime minister's questions on Wednesday, roughly 60 activists from the group blocked a road outside. A "significant number" glued themselves to the tarmac at Parliament Square, the group said. At least a quarter of the activists had been arrested as of 1pm. The group say that they have left one lane free to permit access for emergency vehicles. The group has reemerged as part of a campaign to pressure Burnham to block drilling for new oil and gas in the North Sea. ā€œAndy Burnham, we are crying out for leadership," said Trish Fitzmaurice, a mother from Norfolk who was arrested today. "The climate crisis is the biggest threat humanity has ever faced. We are destroying our only home by burning fossil fuels. Oil and gas mean death.ā€
