Greenpeace Activists on Trial for Damaging Rishi Sunak's Roof During Protest

Court hears allegations of criminal damage as activists demonstrate against North Sea oil expansion at former prime minister's home

Four Greenpeace activists are accused of causing nearly £3,000 in damage to Rishi Sunak's North Yorkshire home.
The protest involved draping black fabric and a 'No New Oil' banner over the property.
Prosecutors claim the activists were reckless, damaging 15 roof tiles during the five-hour demonstration.
Defense argues that any damage was pre-existing and not caused by the protesters.
The trial is ongoing at York Magistrates' Court, with all defendants denying the charges.
