British climate activist group Just Stop Oil has announced it will cease its high-profile direct action protests, which included throwing soup at famous artworks and disrupting public events.
The group said its final demonstration will take place in Parliament Square on April 26. The decision comes after the UK government moved closer to meeting the group’s key demand of halting new oil and gas licenses. Over the past three years, Just Stop Oil gained notoriety for its controversial tactics, which led to several activists receiving jail sentences.
The group now claims its campaign has achieved significant impact and will shift its strategy going forward.
