The three climate change protesters that disrupted the second men's Ashes Test at Lord's this summer have been given 12-month community orders. The Just Stop Oil protest carried out by Judit Murray, 69, Daniel Knorr, 21, and Jacob Bourne, 27, stopped play during the first morning of the match between England and Australia on June 28. Following sentencing at Westminster Magistrates Court on Tuesday, they must all carry out 60 hours of unpaid work and pay fines of £444 each.
When being charged last month, the trio said they wanted to create headlines for their climate change protest and did not want to cause disruption or damage the pitch. District judge Neeta Minhas said she was satisfied the trio had breached the well-publicised rules which state that ticket-holders cannot trespass, go on to the field of play or stage demonstrations.
