A climate activist’s enforced retreat
Our next speaker is Reverend Tim Hewes, a climate activist, retired dentist and priest, who in his seventies was accused of conspiring to bring the M25 motorway to a standstill. On a quiet Sunday afternoon his home in rural Oxfordshire was raided by eight officers from the territorial of the Metropolitan police. Tim was handcuffed and taken to court from where he was imprisoned on remand for six weeks.
