Dr Patrick Hart has been sentenced to a custodial sentence for highlighting the threat of fossil fuel interests.

He showed uncompromising courage in court, explaining he was trying to protect life from the Climate & Ecological Crisis ❤️ Please share & #BeMoreDrPatHart 🙏❤️

Health for XR @healthxr.bsky.social · Jan 7

Today Dr Patrick Hart, practicing GP, was imprisoned for 12 months for engaging in legitimate climate protest.

They think imprisoning climate protestors will make us back down.

But the fire in our hearts and our bellies just grows stronger for justice.
