Nuclear Testing

Protests against the French state's decision to resume nuking places for practice continue. As well as Greenpeace's high profile activities there have been many mass demonstrations around the world. Boycotts of French goods are spreading. Don't Wine - Act Now are planning a range of novel actions involving French wine, 0121 378 5558. 2 people have been arrested in connection with the burning down of the French Consulate in Perth. America and the British government have not come out against the tests... funny that, as they are all in NATO and share test data.

Vigils are being held outside the French embassy in London and Edinburgh every week (see diary dates).

* Faslane Peace Camp (Scotland) are having 4 days of actions based on the 4 elements in memory of Nagasaki. Happening from the 6th - 9th August. There's also a women's camp on the gate. Bring tents, mad ideas etc. 01436 820901.
