Shard climbers arrested for aggravated trespass.

Quite a stretch of the definition, I would say. I can't see that they meant to intimidate anybody, or to disrupt or obstruct an activity in the Shard.
I don't even see why they chose to close the viewing platform, just because a bunch of women from Greenpeace were climbing up the building. Perhaps it makes it easier to prosecute.
Good to see that our laws are being misused to cater to the demands of the corporations.
