10 Peace Women arrested
Helen Thompson | 08.06.2007 22:56
New Byelaws were brought into force on 28 May 2007 prohibiting camping and having fires.
The Aldermaston Women's Peace Camp has existed for over 20 years, it started at the time of Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp, it now consists of a monthly peace camp over the period of a week end. Traditionally women camp and have a small fire. The Byelaws clearly prohibit this activity and limit the right to peaceful protest against the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

several of the sections relate directly to attempting to prevent the womens peace camp continuing. Its kind of like our equivalent of attempts to get shut of Brian Haw (and everyone else, of course) under SOCPA (though we also have socpa at aldermaston too!)
btw - all 10 women were charged with two byelaws offences under s7 of the Aldermaston byelways 2007- namely lighting a fire and "camping". All are due in Newbury magistrates (one of our favourite haunts) on 21 June.

Oh no, that was recinded in 2000. It seems nostalgic looking back at pre-911 'War on Terror legislation.

Whatever the reason given was, you can be sure that is not the real reason.
