Climate activist Violet Coco was sentenced to 15-month jail in #Australia. Her crime was to block one traffic lane (out of 5) for 28 minutes.

Magistrate Allison Hawkins said that the climate activist had made an 'entire city suffer' with her 'selfish emotional actions'.

What about all the suffering caused by #Optus, #Medibank, etc. by leaking customer data? I am sure the consequences are far deeper and significant than having to wait in your car for 28 minutes. Why all those executives are not in jail?

“Violet Coco is in prison, meanwhile the fossil fuel people are really getting value for money.”

A brutally pertinent cartoon from First Dog On The Moon in today’s issue of @TheGuardian:

Adam Morton in the Guardian: "What is not in dispute is that the concerns of the protesters are real and increasingly motivated by a sense of desperation.

They are a response to a status quo bias that fails to address the scale of the worsening climate crisis."

#Australia isn't a nation, it's a quarry. Nothing more. That's why the law and law enforcement are designed to protect miners no matter what. Locking up #climatechange protestors shows Australia for what it really is, a hypocritical nation with very thin skin that's obsessed with money above all else. #auspol #violetcoco https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/dec/03/un-official-alarmed-by-jailing-of-climate-activist-who-blocked-traffic-on-sydney-harbour-bridge

@kangaloonatic @platypusadmirer @healthbud Just donated and spread the word #VioletCoco

Just put in a donation to #VioletCoco Chuffed fundraising appeal. The page explains her #ClimateProtest actions in detail.
Jail for 15 months for stopping traffic on one lane of a bridge for 23 minutes highlighting the #climateemergency is clearly excessive.

Current laws of suppression of Universal #humanrights to protest undermines democracy. NSW, Victoria and Tasmania have passed Legislation to suppress non-violent climate and environmental dissent.
