And see: Exposed: Role of undercover police in a coal train hijack:

Climate campaigners who stopped and occupied a train carrying 42,000 tonnes of coal into the UK’s largest power station, Drax, will have their appeal heard on Tuesday by the UK’s top criminal judge following revelations that an undercover Metropolitan police office, Mark Kennedy, had played a role in the protest. The Director of Public Prosecutions Keir Starmer was forced to agree with an investigation by campaigners that there was an overwhelming case that the “Drax 29” convictions were unsafe, and invited them to appeal their convictions.
