Seven Extinction Rebellion activists have been convicted of occupying an oil rig at the Port of Dundee.
The group’s actions were in a bid to stop the rig leaving to carry out work for Shell in the North Sea.
Reports have now been ordered for the seven activists after they pleaded guilty to committing a breach of the peace at the port.
Federico Pastoris, 25, Mark Quinn, 23, 24-year-old Marco Tenconi, Guy Bowen, 32, 28-year-old Alison Orr, Joanne Venables, 36, and Fiona Cormie, 27, are due to be sentenced next month.
‘Staff concerned for protestors safety’
Dundee Sheriff Court heard how the deputy port manager became aware of the activists using an inflatable boat to access the rig.
