Group of six argued obstruction in London’s financial district was lawful protest against government inaction
Six climate crisis activists whose protest halted transport links serving London’s financial district have been acquitted by a jury.
The group of Extinction Rebellion protesters targeted the Docklands Light Railway (DLR), which runs commuters around the City, Canary Wharf and other parts of east and south-east London, saying they wanted to draw attention to the financial industry’s contribution to the climate emergency.
