BAN MILITARY RECRUITMENT IN WELSH SCHOOLS -
LAUNCH OF PETITION TO BAN MILITARY RECRUITMENT IN WELSH SCHOOLS
Friday 1 June, 7 pm, Temple of Peace, Edward VII Avenue

Out of the 27 EU countries, the United Kingdom is the only one to recruit within schools.

How can such a morally indefensible practise not be contested?

Following last March's referendum to deliver greater legislative powers, and since education is one of the Assembly's areas of responsibility, there is good reason to raise the matter of MOD recruitment programs aimed at minors. Can Wales take a moral lead where England can't? If you're not old enough to vote, how can you be old enough to decide if you want to give your life?

Hosted by The United Nations Association Cardiff, there will be speeches from CND Wales, Cymdeithas y Cymod (The Fellowship of Reconciliation in Wales) and Plaid Cymru's Youth Wing.
