One of the protesters said:

“Repression and prison time will not stop people stepping up to defend our families and communities. We have to put a stop to oil and gas. If we want to protect life and what we love, we need a treaty to Just Stop Oil by 2030.”

The Met Police said:

“Two Just Stop Oil protesters have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage after orange paint was sprayed on passenger information screens and on the floor inside Terminal 5 at Heathrow. Officers remain in the area to deal with any further offences.”
