Five Just Stop Oil activists, including Alasdair Gibson and Louis McKechnie, lost their appeals against convictions for risking 'serious harm' during a protest at the 2022 British Grand Prix. The group had invaded the track at Silverstone, leading to their conviction in February 2022 after footage showed them sitting on the circuit as Formula One cars approached. The Court of Appeal judges upheld the original trial's ruling, stating that the jury was correctly directed and that the protests posed a clear risk to drivers and marshals. The Crown Prosecution Service maintained that the protesters' actions endangered public safety. As a result, some activists received community orders while others were given suspended prison sentences. The court's decision emphasized the seriousness of the protesters' actions, which were deemed not to be a mere inconvenience but a significant threat to those present.
