Extinction Rebellion Oxford Dec 4, 2023

"Jurors have an absolute right to acquit a defendant according to their conscience."

When Trudi Warner, a retired social worker, was moved by the repressive measures which threatened this principle to take a stand, holding up a sign communicating the jury’s right to make decisions of conscience, she was arrested and sent to the Old Bailey (where the same message is displayed!)

Today we sat in solidarity outside Oxford Crown Court.

Extinction Rebellion Oxford

Today a letter signed by 300 people was delivered to Robert Courts, the solicitor general. Following actions across the country in 2023, including outside Oxford Crown Court, it requests that he prosecutes the signatories if he persists with prosecuting Trudi Warner.

Trudi Warner was arrested for standing outside Inner London Crown Court with a sign containing the same words as a plaque in the Old Bailey.
