Originally Published 2 years ago — by BBC.com
Five people were arrested after members of the environmental activist group Just Stop Oil disrupted a performance of Les Miserables in London's West End. The protesters stormed the stage during the show's famous protest song, holding up banners and asking the audience to "join the rebellion." The cast was eventually escorted offstage, and the theater was evacuated. Just Stop Oil aims to demand that the UK government stop licensing new oil, gas, and coal projects.
