Extinction Rebellion Co Founder Convicted for Smashing Department for Transport Glass

7 months ago

The retrial of Extinction Rebellion’s co-founder for breaking a £27,000 pane of glass at the Department for Transport in 2019 has concluded with her conviction for criminal damage today (November 1) at Isleworth Crown Court. Byline Times can now publish the speech that Dr Gail Bradbrook planned to give to the jury during the trial. The judge ruled that she had no defence in law for her actions, which Dr Bradbrook accepted. But XR activists had hoped the jury might acquit her on grounds of conscience. This didn’t happen and she was found guilty. She is due to receive her sentence on December 18. Allies had feared she would face contempt charges for defying an order not to tell the jury her climate-based motivations for her actions, but the judge appeared to withdraw this threat. Threats of a so-called Section 46 judge-only trial – a provision brought into law for cases of organised crime to avoid witness intimidation – were also withdrawn.
After her conviction, Extinction Rebellion said that authorities should be “prosecuting the politicians and corporations causing criminal damage on a ‘planetary scale’, not the ordinary people trying to stop harm.”
