In October 2022, Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland threw two cans of Heinz tomato soup over the artwork at London's National Gallery.

A judge said he hoped to deter protests when he handed down lengthy terms for the two activists, who dumped soup on the painting in 2022. Later that day, activists did it again.

Their sentences are the latest in a string of similar punishments handed to climate activists for engaging in disruptive protests against the use of fossil fuels.
