Animal Rights Activist Faces Suspension and Hefty Fine After Derby Course Invasion

Ben Newman, an animal rights activist, incurred severe penalties for trespassing at a horse racing event. The incident occurred a few months back during the renowned Epsom Derby match, where Newman suddenly ran into the racecourse. What happened next will leave you awestruck.

Newman conducted a bold protest

Shortly after the race started, Newman deliberately climbed a fence and made his way to the finish line. The on-duty officers immediately took him into custody to charge him with severe penalties.

Newman, filled with remorse 

This unfathomable act became the subject of numerous punishments and an 18-month suspension, with a two-month prison sentence besides a penalty amount of 10,000 euros. He accepted responsibility for his misconduct and expressed sorrow for the damages.

Newman’s act mirrors Emily Davison

In 1913, Emily Davison was brutally injured as she came before the King's horse. Newman's activities could have led him to a similar consequence; however, Mr. James-Matthews, the legal executive of Newman, stated, "This is not that case, this is a considerable distance…" intending to differentiate Newman's act from Davison.
