A group of protestors from Just Stop Oil have been convicted after detectives foiled their plan to glue themselves onto Heathrow Airport runways.

Eight members from the group were found guilty of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance at Heathrow Airport. A ninth member had previously pleaded guilty to the same offence.

During the seven-week trial at Isleworth Crown Court, the jury heard that if the group had broken through the security fence and gained access to the airfield, there would have been significant safety and operational consequences.
