In Echo of Kingsnorth Six, US Climate Change Activists Go On Trial

The blockade lasted for about four hours and resulted in the arrest of the ten activists who locked down and one other activist who was acting as a police liason. Charged with unlawful assembly and obstruction of justice, the group has been dubbed the Dominion 11 in homage to Kingsnorth. Dr James Hansen, the leading US climate change scientist, has followed his testimony on behalf of the Kingsnorth protesters with an offer of help to the Virginia activists.
