8:49Now PlayingFive Just Stop Oil members - including one of its co-founders - were jailed for between four and five years for conspiring to organise protests that blocked the M25 on Thursday.
They made plans for protestors to climb onto overhead gantries for four days in November 2022.
Francesca Cociani, who represented one of the defendents during the sentencing of this trial, discusses the sentencing with Henry Riley, warning that it should put us at ''high alert' at the 'state of civic rights and freedoms' in the UK.
Roger Hallam, 58, Daniel Shaw, 38, Louise Lancaster, 58, Lucia Whittaker De Abreu, 35, and Cressida Gethin, 22, agreed to cause disruption to traffic by having protesters climb onto gantries over the motorway for four successive days in November 2022.
Hallam - who also co-founded Extinction Rebellion - was sentenced to five years' imprisonment while the other four defendants were each handed four years' imprisonment.
The environmental group have described the sentences as a "obscene perversion of justice".
