This Sunday around 20 people were arrested after
various actions at USAF Fairford.

Activists from OSSTW, as well as many others, broke
in around the gate 13/14 area. Contrary to what some of
us have heard, there is currently no razor wire around
this side of the base (g12/13/14), although there are
a few dog handlers etc.

Several people got onto the runway, although none got
right up to the B52s stationed there. According to MoD
police, the action delayed the take-off of a transport
plane.

As the police hurried to clear the area, they even
arrested people who were outside the fence but refused
to move further away.

Several people were let off because the police were
overloaded with people. Others have been charged with
aggrevated trespass, with heavily restrictive bail
conditions (wide exclusion area around Fairford,
exclusion of 500 metres from any military establishment).

These bail conditions clearly contravene the right to
protest, and police admitted they were deliberately
intended to prevent people going to March 22 events.

Let's keep up the pressure on Fairford. Successful actions
are still highly do-able despite somewhat souped-up
security!

More details soon.
