Extinction Rebellion co-founder Roger Hallam and others avoided prison for attempting drone disruption at Heathrow, aiming to raise awareness of the environmental impact. They received suspended sentences and community service requirements.
The drone flights, part of the action to halt Heathrow's third runway, were described by the judge as unsuccessful and naive. The activists were found committed to non-violence but underestimated risks.
