On Saturday 7th April sixteen activists were arrested at Faslane naval base, home to the UK's nuclear weapon submarines, as around 150 campaigners, among them Tommy Sheridan MSP, gathered at the base to restate the moral and legal case against Trident and to continue the campaign of direct action. The event began with a number of short speeches. Tommy Sheridan gave his strong support for the activists who had put the Trident question on the Scottish Parliament agenda last Thursday and pointed out that a majority people in Scotland were behind the direct action campaign. At the north gate of the base, in front of the crowd and the police, Angie Zelter went to the fence and began to cut it with bolt-cutters.
People know the judges had a chance to do the right thing and blew it.
Its up to all of us now to step up the campaign.
