Five people have bee]n arrested in London after climate protesters from the group Just Stop Oil shut down a «Les Miserables» performance.
A video has emerged of an enraged crowd booing and calling Just Stop Oil protesters «stupid people» after the climate activists interrupted a «Les Miserables» show in London, forcing it to shut down.
The U.K.’s Metropolitan Police says five people have since been arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespass after «demonstrators infiltrated the performance» on Wednesday night in London’s West End.
Video taken of the incident begins with one protester standing at the front of the stage and unfurling an orange flag with a skull on it before shouting «Just Stop Oil!» at the audience. Behind her, the ensemble is belting out the chorus of the iconic song «Do You Hear the People Sing?»
More protesters then are seen onstage holding a banner with the phrase «Just Stop Oil» as the crowd starts booing and a production crew ushers the cast off the stage.
