Reported about 1 year ago

In the southwest of England, the famous UNESCO World Heritage Site and prehistoric monument Stonehenge was targeted by radical environmentalists who sprayed orange powder substance on the stones, leading to the arrest of two individuals by British authorities on June 19, 2024. The activists, affiliated with the environmental group 'Just Stop Oil,' demanded the UK government commit to phasing out fossil fuels by 2030. Footage circulating on social media showed individuals wearing 'Just Stop Oil' shirts spraying a large amount of orange powder on the ancient stones, alarming on-site visitors. The authorities are assessing the extent of the damage while the group 'Just Stop Oil' faces criticism for the shameful act against one of the oldest and most significant historical sites in the UK and the world.
