ANGIE ZELTER doesn’t know if there are already US nuclear weapons at the RAF Lakenheath base in Suffolk. In fact we may never know, says the 73-year-old grandmother and veteran of countless protests, who began her activism at the Greenham Common women’s occupation in 1981 that saw US cruise missiles removed from the base there 10 years later.
RAF Lakenheath is a misnomer. It is actually a US Air Force base where, it is suspected, preparations are underway for a return of US nuclear weapons to the base, if they are not there already.
This week and next, hundreds of peace and disarmament activists will be travelling there to attend a peace camp that includes rallies, a conference and culminates in a blockade on April 26. The camp is hosted by the Lakenheath Alliance for Peace, a network of groups and individuals from Britain and around the world. Protesters are expected to include activists from other countries where US military bases are located.
