UK Climate Protesters Cover Stonehenge In Orange Paint Ahead Of Election
HuffPost
Two people were arrested a day before the summer solstice, which typically draws many visitors to the site.
A pair of climate protesters were arrested Wednesday at the U.K.’s Stonehenge monument after they sprayed the 5,000-year-old rocks with orange paint, British police said.
The protesters, 21-year-old Niamh Lynch and 73-year-old Rajan Naidu, are part of Just Stop Oil, a group that says it wants the British government to “establish a legally binding treaty to stop extraction and burning of oil, gas and coal by 2030” alongside other nations.
With a national election set for July 4, Just Stop Oil is demanding that the incoming British government take action to “phase out” fossil fuels within a six-year period.
The paint is allegedly cornstarch-based, and is supposed to wash away in the rain, although the area is not expected to see rain before the weekend.
The monument receives a swell of visitors each summer solstice. This year’s solstice is Thursday.
