450 arrested in Belgium do a citizerns inspection at three nuclear related sites. Sarah from Oxford was there

at the three sites activists from allover europe attempted to enter to undertake citizens ispections. the sites were at Kleine Brogel an air field were the US keep nuclear bombs at the ready for belgian air force to fire IF.... at NATO HQ in Brussels and at SHAPE Nato centre for controle.
I attempted to get arrested with some greenpeace missiles and we were pushed around rather roughly but they would not arrest us. We spoke to a senior police officer about the questions _ "do you have nukes etc ?" he said he did not know _ that is what they said about the concentration camps....
It was raining very hard so I went back to the centre of brussels and now I am in Gent with the great organisers of this direct action event. NEXT TIME YOU SHOULD BE THERE
Did you know that there were 5 other US nuclear Bases in Europe including Lakenheath in UK ??
