Extinction Rebellion activists cleared over London rush hour disruption

Jury decision over 2019 action is the latest acquittal involving a high-profile protest

Three activists who targeted London's public transport network to raise the alarm about the escalating climate crisis have been acquitted by a jury.

The three Extinction Rebellion campaigners disrupted rush hour services for more than an hour in east London in 2019, with two of them climbing on top of the train and a third gluing himself to one of the carriages.
