Greenpeace Activists on Trial for Sunak Home Damage
News summary

Four Greenpeace activists, Amy Rugg-Easey, Alexandra Wilson, Mathieu Soete, and Michael Grant, are on trial for allegedly causing damage to Rishi Sunak's North Yorkshire home during an anti-oil protest. The activists climbed onto the roof, draped the house in black fabric, and displayed a banner reading 'no new oil,' resulting in damage to 15 roof tiles and repair costs of nearly £3,000. Prosecutors argue that the activists were reckless, with the damage occurring during the five-hour protest while Sunak and his family were on holiday. Footage and images presented in court showed the activists on the roof and the damaged tiles. Scott Hall, Sunak's chief of staff, testified that he confronted the protesters and was shocked by their presence. The activists have pleaded not guilty, and the trial continues.
