London (AFP) July 10, 2024

A judge spared two Just Stop Oil activists from jail in the UK on Wednesday after they were convicted of disrupting last year’s World Snooker Championship by throwing orange powder on a playing table.

District judge Daniel Curtis sentenced Edred Whittingham, known as Eddie, and his fellow protester Margaret Reid to community orders at a sentencing hearing at Sheffield Magistrates’ Court.
