Nine members of the Just Stop Oil group were convicted of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance at Heathrow Airport. Their intent was to glue themselves to runways, but police intervened before they could execute their plan.

The trial emphasized the potential dangers their actions posed, which could have resulted in serious safety and operational issues at the airport. The court's decision reflects a growing tension between "far right" and "progressive" movements regarding environmental activism and public safety.
