The law does not provide defenses for justified civil disruption in the UK. So this isn’t a surprise sentence. Indigo here is a martyr and she deserves to be celebrated for her service, long may we see more nonviolent protests

It’s so stupid for the government to fail to provide for lawful dissent. “How do we deal with these disreputable little proles, eh? How about instead of letting them be slightly bored standing out in the weather, let’s make them into heroes and martyrs! Hmmyes, that’s the bunny.”
Seriously. The headwinds against protest are that it’s kind of an imposition and people worry it doesn’t have any impact. Do absolutely nothing and it’ll probably evaporate. Come down on them like a load of bricks and it signals to a lot more people that it’s important. The CBP doing Gestapo kidnappings in Portland during BLM spawned a whole new wave of protest participation.
