The environmental group has been engaged in a series of protests against the exploitation of fossil fuels since early October. British Prime Minister Liz Truss wants to accelerate the extraction of such fuels.
Last Friday, two activists from the environmental group daubed ‘Sunflowers’ – the world-famous painting by Vincent van Gogh – with tomato soup in the National Gallery in London. The Aston Martin showroom is located on Park Lane in the heart of London, one of the chicest arteries in the British capital.
The British government has already given the police more powers to deal with such guerrilla actions ‘more proactively’. Parliament is also currently considering a security law. Several Just Stop Oil members have already been sentenced to prison terms for their actions.
