LONDON — The 13 climate change activists k**wn as the Heathrow 13, who stormed the London airport last summer and were told they could face prison in January, have been spared jail.
The group, from direct action network Plane Stupid, were given six-week sentences suspended for 12 months at Willesden Magistrates Court in **rth-west London on Wednesday, which means they are unlikely to spend time in prison. They were ordered to complete between 120 and 180 hours of community service.
