In October 2018 a groups of anti-nuclear protesters from Trident Ploughshares blockaded AWE Burghfield, successfully shutting down the bomb factory for entire day. Nine were subsequently arrested and four were recently convicted of trespass and ordered to pay £3180 in court costs.
Speaking after the verdict, Chris Bluemel said: ”I am obviously disappointed by the verdict but the fight to rid the UK and the world of nuclear weapons continues. There is a wealth of literature as to the illegality of Trident and I am convinced that we are on the right side of history on this issue.”
