On Monday, the police arrested more than 60 Just Stop Oil activists taking part in a slow march outside the UK Parliament.
"This afternoon 31 people have been charged; 14 have been remanded in custody while a further 17 have been bailed to court," the Met said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Just Stop Oil supporters have held their signature slow-marches regularly since April, touting them as "a highly disruptive but completely legal form of protest." In 2022, the group's activists made headlines gluing themselves to pictures in galleries, throwing paint at various office buildings and arranging numerous protest actions and demonstrations that caused traffic disruptions across the country.
