A man who scaled Big Ben and held a 17-hour protest livestreaming for Palestine has been handed a suspended 14-month jail term after causing chaos worth over $92,000. Despite acknowledging his failing eyesight, the judge stressed that no one is above the law—even when driven by strong beliefs. Day, 30, had meticulously planned his climb, brought a camera, unfurled a Palestinian flag, and refused to descend until late night, bleeding on the stonework. The protest led to road closures, canceled Parliament tours, lost bus fares, and a massive emergency response. He’ll now face rehab and electronic monitoring, as the court made clear: protest can’t justify breaking the law.
