Theresa Higginson was imprisoned under the UK anti-protest laws brought in by the previous government.

Theresa was sentenced to 2years in prison for taking action to demand a ban on new North Sea oil & gas licenses. Her action was a success.

🚨BREAKING

Health professionals gather within the injuncted area at Kingsbury oil terminal in solidarity with Dr Sarah Benn.

Benn was suspended from the medical register after a conviction following engaging in peaceful protest.

She simply held a sign that read “no new oil”. /1

Today I visited one of the UK's political prisoners at HMP Styal. She's an amazing woman, there for 6 months, a supporter of @juststopoil.bsky.social who just wants government to stop the fossil fuelled destruction of our only home. May she and the 20+ others in prison be free soon. #JustStopOil
