71-year-old Reverend Tim Hewes of Wantage, England made news on Monday when he appeared outside the News Corp offices in London with his lips sewn shut.
News Corp, headquartered in New York City, is owned by billionaire Rupert Murdoch and lists among its assets Dow Jones & Company, News Corp Australia, New York Post, The Sun, The Times, Fox Sports Australia, Sky News Australia, Realtor.com, Storyful, and HarperCollins, was the target of Reverend Hewes’ protest what he feels is Murdoch and his companies’ part in global climate change.
“I’ve sewn up my lips to demonstrate the terrible havoc Rupert Murdoch’s actions have reaped upon the world and to make this visible: climate science and truth has been muted, those who suffer are not being heard,” stated Hewes via a tweet posted by the Christian Climate Action group.
In a related YouTube video, Hewes calls Murdoch a “climate change denier, dissembler and delayer.”
Warning: Video may be disturbing to some viewers.
“Today there are countless people throughout the world who are voiceless and suffering because of the climate emergency,” Hewes stated. “Climate science and truth has been muted and those who suffer are not being heard. I have tried everything other way I can think of to end the influences and madness represented by Rupert Murdoch and his denial of the climate emergency.”
The priest’s demonstration ended peacefully after two hours then proceeded to remove the stitches on his lips.
Reactions on social media to Reverend Tim Hewes’ extreme protest were mixed, to say the least.
Hewes, who was jailed for 14 days for gluing himself to furniture at the City of London Magistrates’ Court in March of 2020, is part of a movement planning to hold a demonstration called “The Impossible Rebellion” beginning on August 23rd.
