London: A UK judge on Friday criticised animal rights activists who poured red dye into a marble fountain outside Buckingham Palace, causing thousands of pounds' worth of damage.
The five protesters were convicted of causing £7,080 ($9,234) of damage to the Queen Victoria Memorial water feature in central London in August 2021.
Prosecutors said the dye turned the water red to "create the impression of a bloodbath", staining the stonework. Cleaning took 64 hours, they added.
Judge Gregory Perrins told the protesters they "displayed a high degree of arrogance that you were in the right, that your views were all that mattered and that the consequences of your actions were a price worth paying for the promotion of your cause".
The targeting of a "culturally significant monument" was designed to ensure "maximum publication" for their cause, he added.
