Alyson Lee, 66, and Di Bligh, 77, have been charged with criminal damage after allegedly spray-painting Charles Darwin's grave in Westminster Abbey with the expression "1.5 is dead". This act symbolizes their protest against insufficient efforts to mitigate climate change, particularly the aim of capping global warming at 1.5°C. During a court hearing, it was clarified that Lee initiated the painting before Bligh added to it. The church indicated that the protest is not expected to cause lasting harm, with the case scheduled to continue at Southwark Crown Court on March 21.
