๐จ BREAKING: 11 GREENPEACE ACTIVISTS HAVE BEEN ACQUITTED! ๐
A court in Valencia, Spain has just cleared all 11 Greenpeace activists prosecuted after a peaceful 2021 protest against a tanker carrying fracked fossil gas. They were facing 5 years in prison, one of the harshest prison sentences ever seen in Europe.
This is a victory for the Sagunto 11, our collective freedom of expression and most importantly for our democratic right to protest. โ
But the reason they protested remains urgent. Fossil gas is still fuelling the climate crisis, and our freedom to challenge those in power is still under attack.
Protest works. That is why we must keep defending it.
PROTEST IS NOT A CRIME.
