Supporters of the environmental group Just Stop Oil have blocked departure gates at London's Gatwick Airport, the group has said. Seven people entered the South Terminal at around 8am and "used suitcases with lock-on devices to block the departure gates", Just Stop Oil claimed. An image shared on the group's website appeared to show the protesters sitting on the floor inside the airport, blocking an entrance.
Earlier this month, the airport became the latest major airport to secure a High Court injunction in an attempt to stop would-be environmental activists trespassing on its land after receiving police intelligence over protest plans. One of those taking action is Mel Carrington, 63, a mum and former environmental consultant from Dorset, who said:“We’ve just had the hottest three days on earth in recorded history and possibly for hundreds of thousands of years.
