A court has imposed no penalty on three environmental activists who were arrested during the Climate Camp protests last year.

Last August, the three super-glued themselves to a branch of RBS in Edinburgh, in order to talk to customers about the bank’s role in financing climate change.

They were admonished in the Edinburgh Sherriff Court yesterday.

They were convicted of Breach of the Peace, a wide-ranging charge, often used to arrest campaigners.

However no fine or sentence was imposed.

Commenting on a video of the action, fellow activist Peter Tatchell said earlier

I commend the Superglue 3 for taking a stand against RBS’s environmental and social destruction. They followed their conscience, motivated by a desire to defend the interests of humanity and safeguard our precious, fragile planet. Unlike the reckless policies of RBS, their non-violent civil disobedience caused no harm to anyone.

The group has received many messages of support from people concerned about climate change, cuts and civil liberties across the world, including theEdinburgh Councillor for the area.
