Should a 77 year old vicar be sent to prison for defying the court and standing up for the right to protest Govt inaction on climate? This is the question that a London magistrate will be considering tonight. [THREAD] 
Rev Sue Parfitt (77, of @CothamParishChurch in Bristol) and Ruth Jarman (a mother of three from Hampshire) are part of Christian @CClimateAction. They were arrested in Sept 2020 and charged with violation of a Section 14 order (an order used by police to outlaw public assembly).
Sue and Ruth were found guilty today (Thurs 18/3). They defied this ruling by filming in court. As Sue says in this video, she is "protesting the complicity of this court. It's not me who's guilty -- the government is guilty".
