Lakenheath Blockade

Seven people were arrested outside a Suffolk airbase following an anti-nuclear weapons protest, say a campaign group. Around 250 members of Campaign For Nuclear Disarmament met at RAF Lakenheath at noon on Saturday to protest against what they describe as a “lack of transparency on nuclear weapons being held in the UK”, according to spokesman Sophie Bolt. In a statement, the group said: “Solidarity with the seven people who were arrested as part of this successful action which shut down the main entrance to RAF Lakenheath for over three hours.”
