MSPs Show Solidarity with Ploughshares Three
20 MSPs Sign Statement of Support
|
MSPs John McCallion, Dorothy Grace-Elder and Tommy Sheridan will visit Greenock Sheriff Court on Monday 18th October to show their support for the three Trident Ploughshares activists on trial there for disarming a Trident facility on Loch Long in June this year.
The MSPs are members of a newly formed cross-party nuclear disarmament group in the Parliament.
Altogether 20 MSPs have signed the following statement:
"We, the undersigned Members of the Scottish Parliament, express our solidarity with Ellen Moxley, Angie Zelter and Ulla Roder, now on trial in Greenock Sheriff Court. The deployment of the Trident nuclear weapons system by the UK government is an affront to the people of Scotland. We salute the courage and commitment of those who take a personal and determined stance against this evil."
51 British parliamentarians (5 MSPs, 5 MEPs, 41 MPs) have signed a pledge of support for Trident Ploughshares.
