JUST STOP OIL WANTS UN TO DEFEND RIGHTS

ENVIRONMENTAL activists from Just Stop Oil are calling on the United Nations to back their "'human right to protest".

The group's 22-year-old "poster girl", Phoebe Plummer, faces the first trial under the new UK Section 7 law in May.

Rules mean convicted protesters can be jailed for up to a year, fined or both for interfering with "the use or operation of key national infrastructure".
