December 15, 2023

Sentence: 2 years imprisonment, suspended for 18 months, 200 hours of unpaid work, 10 rehabilitation activity requirement days

Roger Hallam conspired with others, including eco-activists, to fly drones near Heathrow Airport as part of the Heathrow Pause protest in September 2019. The plan aimed to close the airport indefinitely until the Government reversed plans for a third runway, intending to cause massive disruption to flights and public order without harming lives. Documents showed intentions for prolonged closure, leading to significant policing costs exceeding £1 million.

Found guilty of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance. Represented himself and argued the public nuisance was insignificant, while expressing that it was intended to create publicity for the criminality of a third runway.
