Just Stop Oil Activists Convicted for Soup Attack on Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers'

Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland face sentencing after causing damage to the painting's frame in a 2022 protest at the National Gallery.

The activists threw tomato soup on the glass-covered painting, causing damage to its antique frame.
Both women were found guilty of criminal damage and are out on bail until their sentencing on September 27.
The protest aimed to draw attention to the cost-of-living crisis and climate change.
This incident is part of a series of art-related protests by Just Stop Oil in 2022.
The frame damage is estimated to be as much as £10,000.
