Overview

• 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.
