MSP Backs Ploughshares Disarmers

Member of the Scottish Parliament Tommy Sheridan came to Greenock Sheriff Court this morning to show his solidarity with Ellen Moxley, Ulla Roder and Angie Zelter, who are on trial for damaging a Trident-related laboratory in Loch Goil in June this year.
Tommy said:
"I am here to show my appreciation and admiration for the courage that these women have shown in challenging the Trident system."
Meanwhile, in the court itself, it has been agreed that the damage sustained by the floating laboratory "Maytime" should be estimated at £80,000. The trial is now expected to go into a fourth week (i.e., week beginning 18th October).
Each morning of the trial Trident Ploughshares supporters march through Greenock with banners and placards. The march starts at the Men of Clyde statue behind the Town Hall at 9.15 a.m. and reaches the Sheriff Court about 9.30 a.m.
