Friends of the Earth’s chief executive Craig Bennet reacts to Prime Minister Theresa May’s plans for the UK to be at the forefront of zero-emission vehicle development
Friends of the Earth supports the right of individuals and organisations to take part in peaceful protest and nonviolent direct action where this is likely to support the achievement of its objectives.
A judgment was issued in the High Court this morning in the high-profile case of environmental defenders who challenged an attempt by the fossil fuel industry to obtain a wide-ranging injunction to restrict peaceful protest at sites in Surrey and Sussex.
While the Court did grant an injunction, it was much less wide-ranging than the one originally sought.
