The trial of Ulla Roder for damaging a Tornado jet at Leuchars airbase in March, is now scheduled to be heard sometime during the two weeks beginning 28th July, following another hearing on 22nd July to check whether she is prepared for trial, given the barriers she is facing in getting legal representation.
Ulla (48), from Odense in Denmark but currently living in Scotland, is being held on remand at Cornton Vale prison in Stirling. Ulla is one of the "Greenock 3", famously acquitted in 1999 after disarming a Trident research barge and was also involved in establishing Fylingdales Peace Camp. She has served many prison sentences for anti-trident actions. However, she could face over 15 years in jail for this action.
Other peace activists are currently in court,too.
