Two peace activists who broke into
Faslane naval base last year were admonished at
Helensburgh District Court after being convicted of
breaching byela ws and of malicious mischief.
Sam Jones (20),a student from Helensburgh and Joss
Garman (20), a student from London, cut through the
outer security fence at the nuclear weapons base on 2nd
January 2005, causing considerable disruption. In the
week after the Boxing Day tsunami disaster they acted to
highlight the way funds spent on humanitarian relief are
dwarfed by the expenditure on useless and illegal
weapons of mass destruction.
Sentence had been
deferred and today Justice of the Peace Nicholson
admonished them in view of their “good behaviour” since
their conviction.
Joss said: “A year has passed
and funds promised for the tsunami relief have not been
delivered while the people of Kashmir are freezing in
makeshift shelters. Huge sums are being spent on Trident
and at Aldermaston on tooling up for the next generation
of genocidal weapons.”
