READING:
Climate protestors tried to damage a world-famous document – the Magna Carta. Two women in their 80s went to the British Library to attack the document. They damaged the document's case using a hammer and a chisel. Police charged them with criminal damage. Security officers stopped them from doing further damage. The Magna Carta stayed safe. The women are from the Just Stop Oil group. They accused the UK of breaking climate laws.
The Magna Carta is a royal charter from 1215. It states that everyone is equal under the law. It guarantees everyone a fair trial, with a jury. Historians say the document influenced the development of Western democracy, and the U.S. Constitution. The two protestors said the Magna Carta was important for our freedoms. They added that: "There will be no freedom, no lawfulness, no rights, if we allow climate breakdown."
