Wimbledon 2023: Wimbledon match disrupted by Just Stop Oil protesters

Posted : 05 July 2023
Play at Wimbledon was momentarily disrupted when two protesters from the environmental group Just Stop Oil threw orange-coloured confetti and jigsaw pieces onto Court 18. The individuals were arrested by authorities after interrupting the match between Grigor Dimitrov and Sho Shimabukuro.
 
Just Stop Oil is known for its advocacy to cease all new oil, gas, and coal projects, and has previously targeted various sporting events, including the Ashes Test, the rugby union Premiership final, and the World Snooker Championship.
 
The All England Club (AELTC) confirmed the incident and stated that the arrested individuals were suspected of aggravated trespass and criminal damage. They were subsequently removed from the grounds. The protesters, a man and a woman, entered the court and scattered the confetti and jigsaw pieces taken from a Wimbledon 'Centre Court View' jigsaw puzzle box onto the grass.
 
In response, Just Stop Oil released a statement claiming that their supporters had thrown environmentally friendly orange confetti glitter and jigsaw pieces, resulting in a brief delay as marshals cleared the debris from the court.
