Aldermaston Compensation Order for Ulla
Røder
Peace activist Ulla
Roder has been ordered to pay £370 compensation to the Atomic Weapon Establishment
at Aldermaston for cutting a small piece of a fence at the site
during the Trident Ploughshares disarmament camp there in May
2001.
The trial, on a charge of criminal damage, took place today in
Newbury Magistrates Court. Although represented, Ulla herself
undertook to explain to the magistrate that her action was
justified under the Nuremberg Principles which obliges citizens to
observe humanitarian law.
Ulla said: "Although he avoided any reference to the Principles in
his judgment he was listening intently to my argument. I did
explain to him that my conscience would not allow me to pay
compensation to Aldermaston."
Ulla was also ordered to pay £60 court costs. Her co-accused,
Allen O’Keefe, was tried in January and was ordered to pay
£750 compensation, double Ulla’s penalty
