Anti-Nuke Swimmers 15 metres from Trident Sub
|
For the second time in five days, anti-nuclear protestors have swum into the top security berths at Faslane Nuke Base near Glasgow, and very nearly reached a Trident nuclear submarine.
Anna Göransson, 24, was one of the swimmers who also breached security at the base on Monday morning. The others were Inge Karnvapen and Nejtill Karnvapen, also from Sweden.
All were released from police custody early this morning and face charges of breaching bye-laws by being in a prohibited area. On her release Anna said:
"When I was apprehended by the marine police I was no more than 15 metres from the Trident submarine in its berth beside the ship-lift. Because of us they set off the bandit alarm which means all work stops and for a brief time the world was a safer place. We did it to prevent genocide and the people in charge of Trident should be the ones brought to court. We wanted to draw attention to Britain’s weapons of mass destruction. WMD are insane whatever country has the power to press the button."
