Press Releases & Updates 2002

On the evening of Saturday 28 Dec shortly after 7pm the two activists entered the RAF Fylingdales Ballistic Missile Early Warning station in Yorkshire and were arrested while attempting to reach the satellite communication dome. The pair had cut through two fences and were cutting through the razor wire when arrested.

Graham was released on Sunday after accepting bail conditions not to go within 500 metres of any MOD property in England and Wales. Ulla did not accept these bail conditions and was held overnight on Sunday.

Both plead not guilty at court today. Graham was released on bail to appear at Scarborough Crown Court on 10th Feb 2003 for trial by jury. Ulla is being held on remand until 6th Jan 2003 when she will appear again before Scarborough Magistrates Court.

Ulla is being held on remand at:

HMP Low Newton

Brasside

Durham DH1 5AD.

Part of a statement issued yesterday by Ulla and Graham read:

"The upgrading of RAF Fylingdales will trigger a new arms race on earth and in space. The use of RAF Fylingdales, in combination with other bases such as the US Spy Base at Menwith Hill as part of the control and command network for the Trident nuclear Weapons system, we see as a threat to all humanity especially with an impending war on Iraq."

Ulla and Graham’s full statement is available on request.
