Nuclear News

Faslane Trident campaigners started the month by twice stopping a nuclear convoy carrying eight warheads. In Rhu ten people jumped over a graveyard wall and hurled themselves in front of the lorries. Two D-locked on underneath and one protestor climbed on top of the carrier. The convoy was held up for thirty minutes and four people got arrested. Later on in Whistlefield there were banners, paintbombs and three more arrests. One protestor was tackled to the ground, having his glasses smashed and was refused access to a doctor for his wounds.
