Trident Replacement Vote Protest

The Trident Replacement Vote Protest group blockaded on Wednesday 14th March

 

Faslane 365, Trident Ploughshares, Faslane Peace Camp and Scottish CND calls on all individuals and groups in Scotland to arrive at the North Gate of Faslane Naval Base at 8a.m. Wednesday 14th March for a protest against the present Trident system and against any replacement.

The message of the protest is: Trident is Criminal and Immoral - Whatever the Outcome of the Vote.

Protests at Faslane against the UK's Weapons of Mass Destruction will continue whatever the outcome of the vote because Trident must be dismantled in accordance with international law. Any replacement of nuclear weapons by the UK would be unlawful under the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The debate should not be about whether or when to replace Trident but about setting a timetable for beginning the process of disarming its WMD. Only then would the government have met its obligations under the NPT and the requirement under International Law as set out by the International Court of Justice to actually disarm its nuclear weapons.

Please come along and let your presence show your opposition to Trident and any replacement.
