Heathrow Pause protest group flies drones in London, UK by Lexie Harrison-Cripps / SOPA Images
Heathrow Pause protesters are seen attempting to fly drones next to Heathrow Airport. Police were called by the protesters to alert the police about the location of the attacks. The police arrested the protesters and took them to nearby police cells. The drones did not fly more than a few feet and unconfirmed reports suggest that signal jammers were used to ensure that the drones were unable to pose any real threat to the airport. Heathrow Pause is a spin-off group of the environmental campaigners known as Extinction Rebellion. Several of the Heathrow Pause campaigners were arrested before the planned protests in pre-emptive strikes.
