Press Releases & Updates 2001

Kreb Dragonrider (44), formerly from Brighton, was one of the 170 people arrested yesterday and one of the five held in police custody overnight to appear in Helensburgh District Court today. Kreb was facing a number of charges related to anti-Trident actions and Procurator Fiscal Ian McCrae opposed bail on the grounds that Kreb had breached bail conditions in the past, had failed to attend court hearings and was "of no fixed abode". Justice of the Peace Nicholson agreed and remanded Kreb to Greenock Prison.* Kreb will be held until 26th November, the last of three trials dates set for him.

Kreb has recently left his settled address and has embarked on a Walk for Peace. Anticipating his imprisonment he said: "I shall in the meantime be peace walking in the exercise yard and sharing the message of peace to inmates and wardens alike!"

The other four held overnight, Barbara Maver, Georgina Smith, Sylvia Boyes and Brian Quail, were released on bail.

As well as Kreb two other Trident Ploughshares activists are currently in prison. Angie Zelter is serving a sentence in Low Newton prison in Durham for an anti-Star Wars action and Danish activist Ulla Roder is in Cornton Vale Prison in Stirling under threat of deportation.

* Greenock Prison, 85 Old Inverkip Road, Greenock, PA 16 9AH
