Protesters to set up two week peace camp at RAF Lakenheath

RAF Lakenheath

A PEACE camp is returning to the RAF Lakenheath from Monday to protest at the threat of US nuclear weapons coming to Britain. 

Lakenheath Alliance for Peace will stage a camp and programme of events from April 14-26, culminating in a blockade on the final day.

The latest protest comes after legal letters from CND to the Ministry of Defence (MoD) resulted in the declassifying of a document exempting US Visiting Forces in Britain from meeting nuclear safety regulations.

Campaigners warn that it means that the local council will never be informed of the US nuclear bombs arriving at RAF Lakenheath, and they are therefore under no obligation to have emergency plans in place in the event of a nuclear accident at the base. 

CND general secretary Sophie Bolt said: “Far from keeping people safe, all these nuclear weapons make Britain a target.

“Yet the government is more concerned about its special relationship with the US than people’s safety.”
