🚨SENTENCING FOR 4 SUPPORTERS OF #InsulateBritain 2PM TODAY

(1/4) David Nixon, 36 from Barnsley, Kai Bartlett, 21, from Shrewsbury, Alyson Lee, 64 & Christian Murray-Leslie, 79 both from Derbyshire have been told to appear for sentencing today 2PM at Inner London Crown Court 🧵 Image
(2/4) The 4 were part of an #InsulateBritain roadblock at Bishopgates on 25/10/21

David Nixon has already spent 4 weeks in prison for telling the #WholeTruth during trial & defying the ruling preventing defendants speaking of their motivations, #FuelPoverty or climate 🧵 Image
(3/4) When sentencing our supporters previously Judge Reid has made specific reference to whether people intend to repeat ‘this behaviour’ or not, with those who pledge to continue in #CivilResistance being given prison time rather than community orders & suspended sentences. 🧵
(4/4) We understand that some of the supporters being sentenced today will be stating that they will continue in #CivilResistance until the government decarbonises the U.K. housing stock and halts new oil and gas.

Alyson Lee, 64 from Derby said;
“As soon as the opportunity arises I will be back out there doing what I can to force the government to act appropriately in this crisis. This awful surreal situation demands a lot more than usual protest – it demands #CivilResistance.” 🧵 Image
Christian Murray-Leslie, 79, a retired Doctor from Derbyshire said;
“I believe we had overwhelming moral justification for our actions & so I cannot possibly regret or apologise. I am at peace with my conscience & believe history will judge me to have done the right thing..." 🧵 Image

During yesterday's trial, Stephanie Aylett, 28, from St Albans, was charged with contempt of court by Judge Reid for disobeying his ruling against referring to the climate crisis, insulation or fuel poverty during her defence.
🧵
#InsulateBritain #FuelPoverty #CostOfLivingCrisis
“I'm deeply disappointed that the court system is complicit in criminalising peaceful protest. It horrified me that Judge Reid deliberately stripped away all our legal defences and told us that we would be in contempt of court if we spoke about our motivations, strategy or aims.
He prevented us from mentioning climate change or talking about any scientific evidence.

“It's likely I will now go to prison, because I spoke the truth to our jury. It is incredibly difficult to explain the actions we took without mention to why we did such a bizarre thing.

“I am doing the only thing I can do. I have stopped eating in solidarity with those who will have to make the choice between heating and eating this winter because of our government’s cowardice”
“Today is the fifth day I have refused to eat and I will continue to do so until the government issues a meaningful statement to get on with the job of insulating Britain’s leaky homes”
