NextImg:Just Stop Oil strike Heathrow Airport terminal with spray paint and sit in protest just a DAY after Gatwick sit-in

Two Just Stop Oil protesters have sprayed paint on departure boards at Heathrow Airport just a day after a sit-in protest at Gatwick.

At around 8:35 am, two protesters entered Terminal Five and proceeded to paint the entrance hall, as well as the departure boards in the departures lounge.

It comes a day after the campaign group said seven activists entered Gatwick's South Terminal at about 8am and "used suitcases with lock-on devices to block the departure gates."

The group added the protest at Gatwick comes as part of the international campaign Oil Kills, and said 21 groups across 12 countries have demonstrated at 17 airports so far.

Just Stop Oil

Speaking about today's protest at Heathrow, one of the campaigners said: People around the world are rising up to demand an end to oil by 2030. This is an international problem, so ordinary people are doing what our politicians will not, working together globally to put a stop to the harm and suffering that fossil fuels cause.

“Repression and prison time will not stop people stepping up to defend our families and communities. We have to put a stop to oil and gas.

"We’ve had fires raging in Jasper. British farmers are in despair after the wettest 18 months on record destroying crops. Mortuaries are overflowing in India after a heatwave. If we want to protect life and what we love, we need a treaty to Just Stop Oil by 2030."
