In a dramatic act of civil disobedience, two climate activists were arrested today after Stonehenge, the iconic prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, was sprayed with “orange powder paint.” The protest, organised by the Just Stop Oil group, aims to draw attention to the urgent need for governments to phase out fossil fuels by 2030.

The incident occurred around midday, just one day before the summer solstice, when thousands of visitors are expected to gather at Stonehenge. Video footage captured two individuals wearing white Just Stop Oil shirts dashing toward the ancient monoliths, spraying paint from canisters. Bystanders attempted to intervene, but the activists persisted, covering several stones with the orange substance before sitting down on the grass.
