Version 3.0Leuchars Disarmer Faces Trial 30th June
The trial of peace Activist Ulla Roder, charged with causing around £1 Million damage to a Tornado aircraft at RAF Leuchars in Fife in March this year, will begin on 30th June, probably in Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court.
Ulla (48), from Odense in Denmark, but currently living in Scotland, is on remand in HMP Cortnon Vale in Stirling after being arrested at the airbase on March 11th. As a Trident Ploughshares pledger she is committed to carrying out acts of disarmament in an open, nonviolent and accountable way. The Tornado belonged to a squadron which was involved in attacks on Iraq. A preliminary hearing has been set for 11 a.m. in Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court on 17th June and it is expected that the trial will take place in the same court.
