Climate activist Dr Sarah Benn, who was suspended following a tribunal after repeatedly breaking the law during protests, has spoken to Doctors.net.uk about why she felt compelled to act, and why she thinks the fitness-to-practise rules need review.

The retired GP from Birmingham was arrested several times after breaking an injunction by taking part in peaceful demonstrations at the Kingsbury oil terminal in Warwickshire in 2022.
