‘Disproportionate’ prosecution of climate protectors in London as crackdown on protesters ramps up in Uganda

https:https://extinctionrebellion.uk/2024/09/25/disproportionate-prosecution-of-climate-protectors-in-london-as-crackdown-on-protesters-ramps-up-in-uganda/

A five-day Crown Court trial begins next week against three XR activists for a principled protest that allegedly caused £6,020 in ‘damages’. The protest involved the use of washable, fake oil and chalk spray on the offices of petro-engineering multinational firm Worley in Brentford, Middlesex. The protesters demanded the company sever ties with the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP), a project that has already been responsible for gross human rights abuses and threatens to cause irreversible climate change if completed. The trial comes after 47 student protesters were pre-emptively arrested in Uganda before they were able to deliver a petition against the pipeline to parliament - just the latest incident in an ongoing, brutal and escalating crackdown against ordinary people resisting the devastating project.
