UK Activists Get Into French New "Mini-Nukes" Site
By: Trident Ploughshares
Peace activists from the UK have penetrated the French nuclear installation at the testing centre of Les Landes in Biscarosse near Bordeaux, which is involved in the development of a new generation of nuclear weapons.
The ten activists joined a mass citizens inspection organised by the a coalition of NGOs, including ATTAC, Réseau Sortir du Nucléaire , Mouvement de la Paix , Greenpeace, the Quakers. The focus of the inspection is the development of the new M51 nuclear missile which will be a submarine launched high precision weapon with a range of 10,000 kilometres. There is especial concern that the relatively low yield of the warheads it is designed to carry will make its use more likely.
Angie Zelter (55), from Norfolk, Lesley Anderson (23), from Clackmannanshire, Mell Harrison (35), from Norwich, Peter Lux (44), also from Norwich and Ludd Appeltans (35), a Belgian currently living in Scotland, have already crossed a " forbidden zone " and entered the site and Lesley Rogers (42) from Beith in Ayrshire, Matt Bury (51), from Faslane Peace Camp and Sam Maher (29), from Norwich, are hot on their heels.
The UK activists have been determined to show their solidarity with the French anti-nuclear movement as both the UK and France are threatening to continue their dependence on WMDs, to develop new ones, and so to breach their legal commitments under the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
The action comes just one week before the start of the Faslane 365 continuous blockades at the UK WMD base on the Clyde.
