Two Just Stop Oil activists, Alyson Lee and Diane Bligh, faced charges of criminal damage after allegedly spray-painting Charles Darwin's grave in Westminster Abbey. During their court appearance, they claimed their actions were justified due to the severe climate crisis. The defendants, aged 66 and 77, opted to represent themselves and argued they could not receive a fair trial, as they believe the judicial system fails to address broader crimes against humanity. The trial is set for May 5 of next year, with the damages estimated at around £10 to £15.
They are charged with causing criminal damage after '1.5 is dead' was written over the resting place of the scientist in central London.
The defendants told the court their action was proportional to 'the threat the world is facing'.
I may well be using the defence of the impossibility of having a fair trial on the basis that the judicial system is failing to prosecute the real system.
I encourage you to consider professional advocates for assistance - it may assist you.
