Guilty verdicts for Plane Stupid protesters
26.06.10
Nine Plane Stupid campaigners who forced Aberdeen Airport to close during a protest in March last year have been convicted of breach of the peace at Aberdeen Sheriff Court. Flights were disrupted before police moved in and made arrests at the airport last March.
The campaigners, eight from Scotland and one from England, cut a security fence and locked themselves to fencing they erected on an aircraft taxiing area, preventing take-offs and landings. A number of the group then climbed on to the roof of the terminal building where they played mini-golf (a reference to plans to build a golf resort nearby) and displayed a banner. The had denied the charges. Sentencing has been deferred until August.
