Five activists have received prison sentences of between four and five years over the disruption.
Five environmental activists who organised protests that brought part of the M25 to a standstill over four days have been jailed.
At Southwark Crown Court, Hallam was sentenced to five years' imprisonment while the other four defendants each received four-year jail terms.The sentences are the longest since the introduction of new laws by the last government to prevent protesters disrupting roads. People missed flights, medical appointments and exams. Two lorries collided and a police motorcyclist came off his bike while trying to bring traffic to a halt in a “rolling road block”.A Zoom call chaired by Shaw was infiltrated and recorded by a Sun newspaper journalist and passed to the police, the court heard.
Hallam, a veteran environmental campaigner, was described as the "ideas man" of the movement, while the judge said Shaw was "up to his neck" in the planning of the protest.Whittaker de Abreu and Gethin were arrested close to the M25 dressed to climb the gantries that cross the motorway.
