Court Issues Arrest Warrant For Ulla Roder

Trial Date Cancelled

When peace campaigner Ulla Roder failed to appear for a pre-trial hearing today at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court, a warrant was issued for her arrest. This means that her trial will not start on the 28th October, as previously scheduled.

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
