Scottish CND News Faslane Peace Camp
Activists from all over Europe dealt Trident a triple whammy at the weekend leaving MoD officials shamefaced.
Two female activists scaled the razor wire at Coulport at 3 am on Saturday and proceeded to the nuclear warhead storage area, where they were discovered cutting the inner fence.
At 8 am state of the art protesting tactics left police confounded as activists simultaneously blocked both entrances to the Faslane base.
At the South Gate experienced protesters erected a scaffold tripod, manned by a 22 year old male from Faslane Peace Camp, known only as "Si", remained on his metal perch for five hours before he was forced down by extreme cold. He was arrested and charged with Breach of the Peace along with 3 others.
Meanwhile at the North Gate, protesters crawled beneath a coach and D-locked themselves to it, preventing workers from entering the base for 90 minutes. The activists, "Sick Pup", 28, and "Fungus", 24 were arrested and charged with Breach and obstruction. Six other protesters were also arrested and released without charge.
