Louis McKechnie, 21, said he and fellow student Nathan McGovern, 22, were treated well as they were cut down from inside the rafters of a terminal in Grays, Essex, last night.
Activists from Just Stop Oil have been hampering access to petrol and diesel for days, demanding that the Government stops new fossil fuel projects by digging tunnels or storming the terminals.
Nathan McGovern, 22, and Louis McKechnie, 21, say they have been disrupting operations at Grays oil depot, in Essex, for approximately 31 hours after chaining themselves to pipes on Sunday.
