Four peace activists (two from London, one from Scotland and one from Switzerland) who were among 33 people arrested during the Big Blockade of the Aldermaston Atomic Weapons Establishment in Berkshire last October will be judged on Thursday 12 November at 2pm at Reading Magistrates' Court, Berkshire. The trial took place on 21-22 October, 2009. A fifth defendant, Barbara Dowling, from Glasgow, changed her plea to guilty and received an 18-month conditional discharge and was ordered to pay £85 in costs.
