Two Just Stop Oil protesters have been arrested after damaging the case around the Magna Carta at the British Library.
Reverend Sue Parfitt, 82, and Judy Bruce, 85, a retired biology teacher, targeted the glass enclosure around the historic document on Friday.
The pair then held up a sign reading "The Government is breaking the law" before gluing themselves to the display, footage posted online shows.
The British Library said security had "intervened to prevent further damage".
The Metropolitan Police said two people had been taken into custody having been arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage.
The British Library said the damage to the case, which was caused at about 10:40 BST, was "minimal" and police said the document itself was not harmed.

Should they protest Muslim countries that produce and sell oil?
Dont need any. However, they clearly do.
Have you taken yours?
We have a 1721 copy of the Magna Carta...was going to give it to a University...are rethinking...probably will give to one of Hillsdale’s secondary schools
Smashing innocent children or animals is not a rational response. Sociopath.
I would think the damaged case could theoretically cause indirect damage to the document, if the atmosphere in the case has special requirements such as temperature or humidity.
HOE many miles of travel-—how many hours of heat, etc have these 2 used in their years?
STOP OIL?
More than HYPOCRITICAL
Destroying national treasures should be a capital offense, imo
Just shoot these people.

Toss them in prison for a few years without bail or court dates.

“I want to take something they love , like a pet, an other,a grandchild.... something they care about and smash it with a hammer while they watch.”
I understand your feeling.
But not yet.

I was just telling me wife that the one thing i think we need is a 300 year old copy of Magna Carta. If you can’t figure out what to do with it, you know where to find me!
It’s unbelievable that the Magna Carta is not encased in polycarb plastic panels that are unbreakable. Get this precious document the hell out of where it is and have someone with brains protect it and display it...............
Should just leave them glued in place until they are dead.
There are only minor repercussions for being a moron.
They have no case, or at the very least, their case is damaged.
Good decision
