The court found that “The action resulted in chaos on the M25 over four successive days, resulting in nearly 51,000 hours of driver delays. People missed flights, medical appointments and exams.

One climate protestor was sentenced to 5 years, and 4 more were sentenced to 4 years rather than 21 years each like this post implies. Furthermore the court found that blocking the road caused 51,000 hours of delays resulting in missed flights, medical appointments and exams. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(60-1-46) Author

NNN The OP is factually correct in what they say. 5 climate protestors were sentenced to 21 years in prison, nowhere does it say 21 years each. The OP is also correct to say it was a peaceful protest, because, well, it was. NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(36-0-20) Author

Debatably NNN, it's talking about the total sentencing of all people involved. While maybe unclear on this, corrections are probably best left for the comments. NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(7-0-4) Author
