Six Extinction Rebellion protesters have been cleared of causing criminal damage to Shell’s London headquarters, despite a judge saying they had no defence in law.
Two of the group’s co-founders Simon Bramwell, 49, and Ian Bray, 53, were acquitted on Friday alongside Jane Augsburger, 55, Senan Clifford, 60, David Lambert, 62, and James “Sid” Saunders, 41, after a trial at Southwark crown court.
