The Just Stop Oil group have released a statement after two of their members halted play at the World Snooker Championship.
The extraordinary scenes took place during Robert Milkins' clash against Joe Perry in the evening session at the Crucible. The game was just a few minutes old, with Milkins leading 11-4 in, before one protester climbed from the stands and onto the table.
He then proceeded to throw "coloured chalk" over half of the table - with all but two balls covered. After the activist was taken away, officials opted to remove every ball from the table and clean it, in a bid to get rid of the chalk.
