👉 Six JSO activists were convicted of public nuisance for climbing gantries on the M25 in 2022. 👉 The judge at Southwark crown court refused to allow the defendants to present a 'reasonable excuse' defence and climate facts to the jury. 👉 The conviction contrasts starkly with that of three other JSO activists who were acquitted for taking part in the same demonstration. 👉 The judge's decision was criticized as an attack on the right to protest.
