A number of protesters – one as young as 19 – have appeared in court charged with criminal damage to two Cambridgeshire land marks.

The group, who protest under the name of Extinction Rebellion, held a week-long protest in Cambridge city centre in February.

The controversial protest saw the lawn at Trinity College dug up and wheelbarrows of mud dumped into Barclays Bank.

Logos were also spray painted on the doors of the Schlumberger building and a petrol station in Newnham Road blocked and black liquid poured over the fuel pumps.

Eleven people appeared at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court yesterday (19 August) for various offences.
