Leuchars Disarmer Faces Trial 30th June
|
The trial of peace Activist Ulla Roder, charged with causing around £1 Million damage to a Tornado aircraft at RAF Leuchars in Fife in March this year, will begin on 30th June, probably in Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court.
Ulla (48), from Odense in Denmark, but currently living in Scotland, is on remand in HMP Cornton Vale in Stirling after being arrested at the airbase on March 11th. As a Trident Ploughshares pledger she is committed to carrying out acts of disarmament in an open, nonviolent and accountable way. The Tornado belonged to a squadron which has been involved in attacks on Iraq.
Ulla is well known as one of the Trident Three who were acquitted by a Scottish court after damaging the Trident research barge Maytime in 1999. She has served several prison terms for anti-Trident actions.
A preliminary hearing has been set for 11 a.m. in Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court on 17th June and it is expected that the trial will take place in the same court.
