Ulla Roder Hearing Adjourned Again
|
A pre-trial hearing for peace activist Ulla Roder, accused of damaging a Tornado jet at Leuchars airbase in Scotland in March, was adjourned today until next Wednesday, 15th October at 11 a.m., due to her non-appearance.
Today’s hearing in Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court was to debate the admissibility of expert witnesses to support Ulla’s special defence. Her solicitor, Aamer Anwar, could not explain Ulla’s absence as he had not been able to contact her. It is almost certain that a warrant for her arrest will be issued if she does not appear next Wednesday.
A Trident Ploughshares spokesperson said: “We don’t know why Ulla did not appear, but if it is because she is frustrated with Kirkcaldy Sheriff court and is boycotting it, we can understand that.”
The trial is scheduled to begin on 28th October
