Just Stop Oil protest at Heathrow

Seven Just Stop Oil protesters were arrested at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 after they attempted to block a passenger search area and disrupt access to departure gates. The Metropolitan Police confirmed the arrests on suspicion of public order offences, while the airport stated that minimal disruption occurred as passengers were able to use alternative security lanes. Protesters were quickly removed within 20 minutes, and Heathrow condemned the action as 'unlawful and irresponsible,' emphasizing their commitment to maintaining safety for travelers. This protest is part of a broader campaign against fossil fuels, with participants holding signs that read 'Oil Kills' and 'Sign the Treaty'. Just Stop Oil indicated that more arrests occurred on public transport as part of their ongoing efforts to call for a binding treaty to cease fossil fuel extraction by 2030. The climate activism movement continues to target airports globally in their fight against climate change.
