Police have arrested six Just Stop Oil activists at a supposed soup night in London this evening.
Hackney Police has detained a number of key organisers for the group who had allegedly been plotting to cause mayhem for thousands of holidaymakers this summer by disrupting airports across the UK.
Officers swooped on an east London community centre earlier today and arrested six activists during an event which JSO later claimed was a ‘soup night’.
The eco group also claimed another protestor named Daniel was arrested whilst staying at their parents home in the capital.
Protesters had allegedly planned to disrupt airports in a ‘sustained period of action’, warning that an attack on Stansted airport last week, where two private jets were sprayed in orange paint, was just a ‘prelude’.
