Tina Rothery, a grandmother and resident of Blackpool in North England, was met by a jubilant crowd of hundreds outside Preston Court on Friday, December 9, when the verdict of her freedom was announced. People of every age, from each corner of the British Isles, turned out for the decision and spent all day waiting outside the court to hear it.
Rothery was under threat of prison after taking part in a peaceful protest camp against Cuadrilla’s plans to frack her region in 2014. At that time, the anti-fracking group The Nanas organized a three-week occupation in a field adjacent to the site where the company ought to drill.
