The UK climate activist group Just Stop Oil announced that it will end disruptive acts of protest, which have included throwing soup on Vincent Van Gogh's "Sunflowers," smashing the glass protecting the Magna Carta and spraying orange powder paint on Stonehenge.
The group is planning "one final action" in London's Parliament Square on April 26, after which they "will not be taking action under the Just Stop Oil banner," a press officer for the group told CNN.
Just Stop Oil's initial demand was to "end new oil and gas," which is now government policy, the group said. In early March, the British government confirmed that it has committed to issue no new licenses to explore new oil and gas fields.
Because of this, Just Stop Oil said it has kept more than 4.4 billion barrels of oil in the ground and become "one of the most successful civil resistance campaigns in recent history." It will now be using a "different approach" to fight against what it called "a morally bankrupt political class" as global temperatures rise.
