Three Just Stop Oil activists have thrown soup at two of Vincent van Gogh's paintings in London's National Gallery just hours after members of the protest group were jailed for doing the same thing in 2022.
The trio threw tomato soup at the "Sunflowers" and another from the series that is on loan from the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Just Stop Oil said the "action" was a "sign of defiance" in response to the sentencing of the two protesters earlier today.
The incident came after Phoebe Plummer, 23, and Anna Holland, 22 were sentenced earlier today for throwing two tins of Heinz tomato soup over the 1888 work in October 2022.
Plummer received a two-year jail term, while Holland was handed 20 months today after they were each found guilty of criminal damage in July.
