Ploughshares action at Shannon Airport

Another 5 go airside and damage plane

In the early hours of Monday 3 February, five members of the pacifist Catholic Worker movement cut their way into Shannon Airport.

The peace activists poured human blood on the runway that has been servicing U.S. military flights, troop and munition deployments to U.S. military bases in Kuwait and Qatar. They constructed a shrine on the runway to Iraqi children killed and threatened by U.S./British bombardment and sanctions. The shrine consisted of copies of the Bible and Quran, rosary and muslim prayer beads, flowers, photographs of Iraqi children and Brigid's crosses. They then began to take up the runway, working on its edge with a mallet.
