  Misleading title, the 3 were found guilty of criminal damage and given suspended sentences. However, everyone was acquitted of public nuisance charges.

  TL;DR blocking the pumps is ok, damaging the pumps will get you in trouble.

  As a non UK resident, how are things for those arrested during the Palestine action protests?

    I imagine most of them won’t have even been trialed yet.

    I also imagine it depends on whether they plead guilty to supporting a proscribed group or not, etc.

  Tez Burns and Peter Lay were found guilty of criminal damage and Charles Laurie was found guilty of possession of a hammer with intent to damage property, at their trial in August 2025. Along with 5 others on trial that day they were also acquitted of public nuisance.

  Feels like a somewhat misleading title given multiple were found guilty of criminal damage. They received a suspended sentence, which was always likely to be the result (or a large fine). Them being imprisoned wasn’t going to happen.
