9 students were arrested this morning at Faslane nuclear base after blockading the road for 40 minutes.
At 6.30 am, 6 students from Nottingham and Bradford Universities arrived at the North entrance, superglue-ing their hands together to blockade the main entrance at shift change. A large tail-back was caused, distrupting workers from entering the base. After much scrubbing with soap and water, they were all removed after around 40 minutes and arrested for Beach of the Peace.
At the same time, 3 more students from Nottingham were arretsed after blocking the South entrance using a concrete blockade.

Wonder if we could estimate lives saved in that 40 minutes?
Nice work students!

The road to the South Gate for about 15 minutes as the police discovered a major design flaw in the lock-on quicker than had been anticipated. Simultaneous blockades did mean that the base was essentially inaccessible for a short while (there are two other gates, but these are rarely used).
All 3 South Gate arrestees were held at Dunbarton Police Office and released on Saturday evening after the events at Glasgow Airport. Those from the North Gate were held at Clydebank and released at much the same time.

unfortunatelyone cannot be arrested for 'beach of the peace' otherwise a worryingly large amount of whales would be receiving letters from the procurator fiscal right now.
