Britain Could Ditch Trident Overnight
Scottish Defendant in Witness Box Tomorrow
|
An international nuclear disarmament expert has claimed that the UK could abandon its reliance on nuclear weapons within 24 hours of a political decision.
Appearing in the Greenock trial of the three Trident Ploughshares activists charged with disarming a Trident facility on Loch Long in June this year, Rebecca Johnson, who monitors the global implementation of disarmament treaties, stated that there was no reason for delaying the injunction of the International Court of Justice to bring disarmament negotiations to a speedy conclusion.
Dundee MP John McAllion came to Greenock today to give his support to the three women. He was accompanied by Fiona Macaulay, Parliamentary Assistant to Member of the Scottish Parliament Dorothy Grace-Elder. She brought along a message of support for the women, signed by 25 Members of the Scottish Parliament.
Tomorrow morning, Tuesday 19th October, pensioner Ellen Moxley, from Dollar in Scotland will be in the witness box.
