In a statement Monday, the prosecution service said it has concluded there is a substantial likelihood of conviction for criminal contempt and a strong public interest in prosecuting criminally the alleged breach of the injunction. Since August 2020, members of the Rainforest Flying Squad and other environmental activists have set up moving blockades in their bid to prevent logging and road-building in old-growth forests. Kathleen Code, spokeswoman for the Rainforest Flying Squad, said Monday the decision won’t stop protesters, and merely serves to relieve Teal Jones of the financial burden of having to prosecute people of “having to find people and serve them properly.”
