Devonport Dockyard in Plymouth was blockaded on the morning of 1 November in an action called by the Plymouth-based Trident Ploughshares (TP) group, The Tamarians.

The yard is also increasingly becoming the dumping ground for old and out of service nuclear submarines, posing a further radioactive contamination hazard to the quarter of a million people who live nearby.

Urgent appeal to sign the petition for the granting of asylum to the Iranian hunger strikers in Athens, Greece. The aforementioned petition is addressed to the defaulting government of The Hellenic Republic: It is requested that it should comply with peremptory norms of International Law--in accordance with the European Union's Regulations and Directives, and the Statement by the Head of the Office of The United Nations High Commission for the Refugees in Greece--and grant asylum to the hunger strikers, who have already manifested alarming effects on their health due to the prolonged hunger strike. ... read full story / add a comment
