After three years of Marxist disruptive activism, Just Stop Oil has announced it will end street protests, with a final action set for April 26.
Speaking outside Downing Street, co-founder Hannah Hunt said the group is “hanging up the hi-vis” after influencing UK policy and court decisions against new fossil fuel projects.
The group will now focus its efforts “in the courts and in the prisons.”
Increasing legal crackdowns and longer jail sentences for the trouble makers – some jailed for roadblocks and disturbing the public peace – were cited as key reasons for the strategic shift away from Marxist resistance.
