The eleven were arrested under the Heathrow Bylaws and were charged £235 each. A larger fine was given to those who held previous convictions, who were "not of good character." The eleven activists were also told to pay within 28 days, without taking into account individual financial circumstance. This ridiculous charge will not stop the group from taking further action


The eleven were arrested on 22nd June 2009 after an action at Heathrow’s
Terminal Three during celebrations of Virgin Atlantic’s 25th birthday party.
Activists wanted to highlight Virgin’s plans to replace conventional
aviation fuel with destructive biofuels, allowing the industry to expand.
The action involved two men, dressed as stewardesses, standing on top of the
entrance to the Virgin complex at Terminal 3. Outside more activists, also
dressed as stewardesses, unfurled a banner reading, “Aviation Industry: no
way out” and “Climate Criminals Inside”.
