Sycamore-Gap Tree-sag dømt til over fire års fængsel

To mænd blev dømt til fire år og tre måneders fængsel, fordi de savede et slående spidse ahorntræ i det nordlige England. Daniel Graham, 39 years old, and Adam Carruthers, 32 years old, were guilty in May that they had committed two crimes of vandalism - one thing referred to the tree itself and the other to the Hadrianwall on which the tree had fallen. Dette blev rapporteret af PA Media News Agency fra Storbritannien.

fordømmelse i Newcastle Crown Court

De to mænd modtog deres straf tirsdag i Newcastle Crown Court i det nordøstlige England. The tree, which stood as a watchpost on Hadrianwall built by the Romans for more than 200 years, was deliberately felled in September 2023. The authorities described this as a "vandalism act".

den berømte spidse ahorn og dens historie

The beloved Spitzhaorn, which is located in Northumberland National Park, became known to millions of people worldwide when he was seen in 1991 in the blockbuster film "Robin Hood: King of Thieves" with Kevin Costner. The tree stood in a place known as the "Sycamore Gap", and was part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Hadrianwall, which was built around 1,900 years ago to protect the northwestern border of the Roman Empire.
