2 arrested following nuclear site blockade

TWO people were arrested yesterday following a five-hour blockade of a nuclear site against further expansion of the plant.

Protesters used two cars and a caravan to block the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE), which started at 7am yesterday.

Action AWE member Hannah Brock said: “Today we effectively shone a spotlight on the expensive, deadly and unnecessary work that the AWE profits from.”
