Six women from Extinction Rebellion who broke the front windows of Barclay's Bank in Canary Warf in April 2022 were spared jail today! They were convicted of criminal damage and given suspended sentences. They allegedly had caused £100k worth of damage but were not ordered to pay damages but each were told to pay £500 court fees!
The Judge said that "the consensus of scientific opinion supports your view that the world faces great danger and urgent action is needed".
Barclays Bank are one of the largest fossil fuel investors in Europe having financed $5.6bn for new projects since January 2021! HSBC and Standard Charter Banks are similarly guilty!
