Three Greenpeace Activists Charged Over Rishi Sunak Home Protest

The Crown Prosecution Service has authorized charges against three Greenpeace protesters for criminal damage following their demonstration at the UK Prime Minister's residence.

• Three Greenpeace activists, identified as Mathieu Soete, Amy Rugg-Easey, and Alexandra Wilson, have been charged with criminal damage after protesting at Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's home in North Yorkshire.
• The protest, which involved draping anti-oil and gas banners on Sunak's property, took place in August last year while the Prime Minister and his family were on holiday.
• North Yorkshire Police arrested five people at the scene, but charges have been authorized against three individuals by the Crown Prosecution Service.
• Greenpeace UK has disputed the charges, stating the protest was peaceful and no damage was caused to the property.
• The charged activists are scheduled to appear at York Magistrates' Court on March 21.
