Ulez protesters cleared of harassing Sadiq Khan

Several Ulez protesters were convicted for causing alarm to Sadiq Khan and neighbors during a loud demonstration near his home in 2023.
The convictions followed a trial in which the judge concluded the protesters knew their actions could cause distress, though Khan was reportedly not home during the event.
The protesters received fines between £500 and £750 plus victim surcharges, and the demonstration included amplified music and offensive language disturbing local residents.
The Crown Prosecution Service later reviewed new information that undermined their case and did not oppose the quashing of convictions, which defense lawyer Luke Gittos called "extremely rare."
The convictions have been overturned, leading to repayment of fines and surcharges, and highlighting procedural issues rather than questioning the evidence's substance.
