Two Trident Ploughshares activists have been acquitted of conspiracy to commit criminal damage. In November 1999 the two activists attempted to decommission the Trident submarine Vengeance.

Activists greeted the verdict with delight. Rachel Wenham, who is herself waiting retrial after disarming the same submarine in February 1999, said:

"At long last we have got justice from the English courts. The verdict shows that when ordinary British people are given the chance to decide on Trident and the rights of activists to intervene they are willing to be led
by their conscience."
