Tony Told, "They are here"
|
At 10pm last night, two Trident Ploughshares activists painted, "They are here, Tony" and radiation symbols on a bridge near to the North Gate at Faslane to highlight the presence of nuclear WMD in Scotland.
Olivia Agate, a retired nurse from Yorkshire, and Morag Balfour, Disarmament Spokesperson for the SSP, were both charged with Malicious Mischief and released in the early hours of this morning.
A Trident Ploughshares spokesperson stated, "Britain’s Weapons of Mass Destruction are not just a potential threat to the world, but also an ongoing disaster. By illegally deploying Trident, radiation is leaked into the environment causing untold damage and creating a stockpile of nuclear waste. It is absolutely necessary for citizens like Olivia and Morag to raise the alarm."
Last night’s arrests bring the total count so far at this year’s disarmament camp to 80. At four o’clock this afternoon, Rupert Eris, a Nature Reserve Warden from Norfolk, will appear in Helensburgh District Court for non-payment of two fines relating to previous blockades of Faslane.
The Trident Ploughshares International Disarmament Camp on the Clyde will continue until 1st September.
