Many of those who have been involved in the recent Trident Ploughshares 2000 protests at Faslane had taken part in a Walk for Peace from NATO Headquarters in Brussels. In the first week of August the group of 25 - 30 people walked across Scotland. They came from Belgium, Canada, France, Finland, India, the Netherlands, Scotland, Sweden and the United States. The photo shows them walking across Bells Bridge over the Clyde in Glasgow.
Pol D'Huyvetter, from Belgium said "the British nuclear weapons are illegal. They are weapons of mass destruction, best compared with mobile human incinerators. The obvious illegal status of nuclear weapons was confirmed by the International Court of Justice in a historic ruling in July 8th 1996 and as citizens we have an obligation to stop this crime. Britain and all nuclear weapon states have to start negotiations for a treaty to ban nuclear weapons."
