London, UK. 22 December 2016. A campaigner from Rising Up! speaks at the protest outside Ealing Magistrate's Court where the "M14-15" who blocked the motorway into Heathrow in a protest against the third runway were about to be tried. They pleaded "guilty, but only guilty of standing up to climate injustice" and say the real crime is the expansion of airports, which will benefit the small number of rich frequent fliers but will break emission laws causing thousands of premature deaths, undermine global efforts to combat climate change, result in the devastation of local communities and generate extra noise and traffic that will cause misery to millions.
