We have charged 44 Just Stop Oil activists after officers made more than 100 arrests on Monday, 6 November.
Harrison Donnelly, 20 (26.12.02) of Sillitoe Way, Nottingham and Hanan Ameur, 22 (26.03.01) of Hornsey Road, Islington were charged with criminal damage after the protective glass of a painting at the National Gallery was vandalised.
The historic painting sustained minimal damage but is undergoing conservation treatment.
The remaining 42 activists were charged with obstruction of the highway following two slow marches along Whitehall.
Of the 44 people charged, 20 have been remanded in custody while the other 24 were bailed with conditions.
During the first of the two slow marches, officers made 79 arrests in 18 minutes to clear Whitehall with a further 25 arrests made during the second slow march.
Since the start of Just Stop Oil’s autumn action on Monday, 30 October, 219 arrests have been made and 98 activists have been charged.
Ultimately it is Londoners who are bearing the brunt and cost of Just Stop Oil’s disruption.
