In the week when COP 27 and the reality of the climate crisis hits home, Trystan Kent speaks with Sarah Webb, a climate justice activist who went to prison for peaceful non violent protest.
TW: This episode contains profanity and state endorsed violence against women in prison including graphic descriptions of pain inducement for restraint.
Sarah has been engaging in civil disobedience protests for several years now - she was recently arrested and jailed for her peaceful protests, which included blocking an entrance to Kingsbury Oil Terminal, and sitting on top of an oil tanker to prevent it from moving.
While in prison, Sarah continued her campaigning, resisting the prison guards and holding signs claiming she was a political prisoner on protest, for which she received violent, harmful treatment including the deliberate infliction of pain by prison guards.
Sarah speaks with us about what motivated her to join Just Stop Oil and to face arrest in such a deliberate way, what the threat of climate change means to her, as well as some background on the political, social and media landscape of collusion that enables the climate emergency to continue.
