Greenpeace protesters who blocked Russian oil found not guilty
Ten Greenpeace activists who blocked a tanker carrying Russian diesel have been cleared of aggravated trespass by a judge Who Said The War in Ukraine " could be described as terrorism".

District judge Christopher Williams found them Not Guilty after a two-day trial at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court.
The Prosecutor had argued the case was not about " what's morally right".
" I take The View it's More Than likely The Russian war could be described as terrorism, " said The Judge .
" In my view, the unloading of the oil was the potential offence. "
He added it was " arguable that offences may have been committed under the Terrorism Act 2000" and the " activity which The Defendants disrupted was the very thing they were protesting about".
The Court heard how on 15 May this year.
They attached themselves to the structure and displayed a banner reading " oil fuels war".

The protesters broke out into applause and there were cheers as The Judge found each of them Not Guilty of obstructing or disrupting a person engaged in a lawful activity under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994.
Speaking afterwards, the defendant and former Lieutenant Colonel , Michael Grant, said: " This verdict is not just a relief for us but a complete vindication of The Ethical beliefs that led us to act. "
Another activist, teacher Zoe Pontida, described it as a " seismic verdict" and added: " The Judge has recognised that We Are just Ordinary People whose conscience compelled us to stop the oil funding Putin's campaign of state terrorism in Ukraine. "
