Protesters argue the will obstruct “peaceful protest against illegal tree-felling and ‘wildlife crimes'”.
An injunction designed to block activists from carrying out “disruptive protests” on land along the entire route of the planned HS2 rail link has been granted by a High Court judge.
Environmental activists from Stop HS2 North and HS2 Rebellion protesting outside the Curzon Street Station site in Birmingham He said: “I have anxiously considered the geographical extent of the injunction along the whole of the HS2 route, and whether it should be more limited. “The HS2 land is an area of sufficient size that it is not practicable to police the whole area with security personnel or to fence it, or make it otherwise inaccessible.”
“These people and millions of others have every right to protest. This is just a money-making project. We don’t need another rail line.”A number of protests have taken place along the proposed rail route, including the Wendover Active Resistance camp in Buckinghamshire which lasted for more than a month in October and November last year, and a network of tunnels under Euston station which were occupied by activists for a month in January and February last year.
