Three Just Stop Oil supporters have denied criminal damage on two Van Gogh paintings after soup was thrown at them.
The paintings, both versions of Vincent Van Gogh’s Sunflowers, were targeted at the National Gallery on Friday.
Hours earlier, two Just Stop Oil activists were jailed for pouring soup over a Sunflowers by the Dutch artist in October 2022.
Stephen Simpson, 71, and Mary Somerville, 77, of Bradford, and Phillipa Green, 24, of Penryn, Cornwall, pleaded not guilty to criminal damage at Westminster Magistrates’ Court earlier.
