A Jewish climate change protester was among those convicted of criminal damage after gluing themselves to the offices of a coal-mining firm.

Shulamit Morris-Evans, 24, Angela Ditchfield, 41 and 34-year-old Amy Pritchard were given conditional discharges and ordered to pay court costs and victim surcharges totalling £370 each at City of London Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.

They had pleaded not guilty to the charges of criminal damage – and also denied charges of aggravated trespass, which were dropped.

The trio – members of Extinction Rebellion – superglued their hands to the entry gates of an office building being temporarily used by Global Coal Management (GCM), as it was holding its annual general meeting on December 28 last year.
