Just Stop Oil Ends Protests After Policy Victory

Climate activist group Just Stop Oil has announced it will cease its disruptive protests after a final demonstration in London, claiming victory as the UK government agrees to halt new oil and gas licenses. The group, infamous for stunts like throwing soup at Van Gogh's paintings and disrupting major events, states the decision aligns with the government's new policy on fossil fuels, which they credit as a successful outcome of their campaign. Despite the end of these public protests, Just Stop Oil plans to continue its activism through legal channels and push for broader climate action. This shift comes as tougher anti-protest laws and public dissatisfaction with disruptive tactics have increased. The group, which has seen over 3,300 arrests and numerous prison sentences for its members, vows to explore new strategies for future climate advocacy. Their final protest is set for Parliament Square in late April, marking the end of their high-profile public demonstrations.
