Nine behind bars... 23 more to go: Dozens more road-blocking activists face being hauled before courts and JAILED in coming weeks - as Insulate Britain warns of 'day of civil resistance' on Saturday in support of them
Nine offenders were jailed for up to six months yesterday (right). Insulate Britain says 23 more people are also being summoned to court for contempt of court in the coming weeks, where they are all likely to receive similar sentences to those handed down to others. It came as the husband of one activist who is now going on hunger strike in prison after she and eight other activists were jailed for their roadblocking demonstrations said today that he was 'terrified' for her as they come to terms with spending Christmas apart. Emma Smart, 44, (left) was handed a four-month sentence. Also seen inset: the activists outside court.
