Two Just Stop Oil protestors have been charged by English courts with criminal damage to the frame of Vincent\u00a0van Gogh<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0Peach Trees in Blossom<\/em>, held in the Courtauld Institute.<\/p>\n

The protest<\/a>\u00a0took place at the end of June and was among the first of many protests that eco-activists would bring to museums.<\/p>\n

The two protestors, Emily Brocklebank, 24, and Louis McKechnie, 22, glued themselves to the frame of\u00a0Peach Trees in Blossom<\/em>. Police were called, and solvents were used to detach the protestors from the frame.<\/p>\n

The museum\u2019s initial assessment was that the painting was unharmed by the protest but that the frame would need treatment. During the court hearing, it was said that the frame is, in fact, permanently damaged.<\/p>\n

Brocklebank received a 21-day sentence, which was suspended for six months, and might also be subject to an electrically monitored six week curfew,\u00a0according to the\u00a0Guardian<\/em><\/a>. McKechnie was jailed for three weeks. Their crime caused around $2,300 of damage to the 18th-century frame that held van Gogh\u2019s painting.<\/p>\n

At the time of the protest, McKechnie said in a statement, \u201cIt is immoral for cultural institutions to stand by and watch whilst our society descends into collapse. Galleries should close. Directors of art institutions should be calling on the government to stop all new oil and gas projects immediately. We are either in resistance or we are complicit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brocklebank told the courts, per the\u00a0Guardian<\/em>, \u201cWhen it comes to protesting, just speaking does not get a platform. By gluing, it gives a story which the media chooses to follow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Protestors with Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion have been leading actions around England, spraying paint on buildings, holding signs outside of oil company buildings and government offices, and stopping traffic in London laying down in the road. These forms of protest have hardly received attention from the media and public as their actions in museums.<\/p>\n

Activists involved are being arrested and in some cases sentenced for their protests, no matter the form. A protestor was\u00a0arrested\u00a0outside of the offices of HK London, which does public relations work for Exxon Mobil. Fifteen Extinction Rebellion protestors were\u00a0arrested\u00a0for spraying buildings with paint. A protestor was\u00a0arrested and sentenced<\/a>\u00a0to 268 days in prison for occupying trees in the Bluebell Woods, which were slated for destruction to make way for a controversial rail line.<\/p>\n

Eco-activists have been particularly galvanized by a grim\u00a0report by the UN<\/a>\u00a0that found there is no credible path to staying below 1.5 degrees Celsius warming, as staying on target would require an immediate 40 percent reduction in emissions. Eco-activists have taken the line that mitigating climate change is possible, but will require radical change prompted by mass acts of civil disobedience.<\/p>\n

As these acts increase, however, the\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0reported that the English police have been given more latitude to quash protests, and punishments for certain protests have been made more extreme. For example, the penalty for causing an obstruction on a highway now comes with an unlimited fine and up to six months in prison.<\/p>\n
