Just Stop Oil Protesters Invade World Snooker Championships

Protestors Release Orange Dye Powder Onto Table

Disruption Halts Evening Session of World Snooker Championships

Two protesters from the environmental group Just Stop Oil invaded the World Snooker Championship arena on Monday evening, disrupting play and forcing a halt to the session. The protesters, who ran onto the table, released a powder substance, which turned out to be orange dye. The incident has drawn attention to the group's campaign against fossil fuel extraction and use.

The protesters, identified as Louis McKechnie and Indigo Rumbelow, were swiftly removed from the venue by security. The dye powder, which briefly halted play, has since been cleaned up, and the championship has resumed.

Just Stop Oil has been staging a series of protests in recent months to highlight the urgent need to address the climate crisis. The group's actions have sparked both support and criticism, with some praising their dedication to raising awareness, while others have condemned their disruptive tactics.
