Five More Arrested at Faslane
|
Five more people were arrested this afternoon at Faslane as Trident Ploughshares activists
cut the perimeter fence at the nuclear weapons base.
A panel of the weld-mesh fence was cut by a mechanical saw before the police were able to intervene. Those arrested were Phill Jones (40), Scottish CND’s campaigns worker, Roz Bullen (33), from Edinburgh, Sam Jones (17), from Helensburgh, Sue Brackenbury (27), from Faslane Peace Camp and Naschi Janoschka (27), from Germany. This was Sue’s second arrest in the last fortnight and Naschi’s third.
A spokesperson said:
"Not content with the horror of nuclear weapons, the United State’s development of new weaponry of insane destructive power makes our disarmament action all the more urgent."
Today’s action is part of the two-week Trident Ploughshares disarmament camp going on at Coulport. So far there have been 39 arrests.
