Northern Ireland man arrested at Faslane
1 October 2007

About 200 people have been arrested at Faslane nuclear weapons base in Scotland during a peaceful nonviolent blockade there on Monday 1st October to mark the culmination of Faslane365, a year of resistance. Among those arrested was Mark Chapman from Belfast who said, “I have traveled here to Faslane to uphold international law. I believe these nuclear weapons are causing great instability in the world”.

Mark Chapman was part of the “Make Trident History” group, which traveled from Belfast to take part in the blockade. Since last October 06 over 1,000 people have been arrested, with 51 of these being prosecuted.
Kevin Cassidy another member of the group said.” Many people in Ireland are unaware of the existence of Faslane ( about 60 miles from Irish coast), where the U.K.’s nuclear submarine base is situated. It is here that nuclear missiles/weapons of mass destruction are transported around the public roads, and carried on board submarines which travel up and down our coasts. A simple traffic accident could cause a nuclear holocaust. This blockade is to close down Faslane and begin nuclear weapon decommissioning”

Faslane365 is a year long blockade of Faslane where the UK’s nuclear weapons are based. The campaign aims to disrupt the deployment of weapons of mass destruction. Groups have come from all across the UK and Europe and even Japan. The blockading groups come from diverse sectors of society, including health professionals, Professors, clergy, elected representatives, clowns, Christians, Buddhists and many others. More information is available at www.faslane365.org.

This was a massive turn out against the nuclear killing base of Faslane. Well done to everyone involved and in particular to those who lay down and were arrested. Hope you are all home again safe and well.

The struggle for a nuclear free world is one of the most important struggles of our time. As one of the nuclear powers allowed to build and store nuclear weapons our nearest neighbour harbours these angels of death on our doorstep.

Faslane 365 has raised awareness of the existence of the nuclear submarines and nuclear arsenal at Faslane. As part of that Faslane 365 year long project The Make Trident History Group from Belfast who blockaded on 1 October made another visit and took part in another blockade in December last.

When we hear of evil among us, some of us shrug our shoulders and assume deafness, some listen, moan and pass on, some shout Stop and put their bodies on the line.

Well done again to all who have put their bodies on the line at Faslane nuclear submarine base.
