CND groups to protest at US Embassy over return of US nukes to Britain

CND groups from London and the surrounding area will rally outside the US Embassy in London on Tuesday 21 March, against the return of US nuclear bombs to Lakenheath airbase in Suffolk.?

In January this year, the Federation of American Scientists revealed that the new B61-12 nuclear bomb has been cleared for transport to bases in Europe, including Britain. Silos to house these bombs are already in situ. The latest fighter bomber aircraft, the F-35As that will deliver them to their targets across the world are already in Lakenheath where training began last year. Join us to protest any stationing of these weapons of mass destruction just 70 miles from London.

Tuesday, 21 March
5:30-7pm
US Embassy, Nine Elms Lane, London, SW11 7US, details here

20 years since the invasion of Iraq

This Sunday, 19 March, marks 20 years since the British and US illegal invasion of Iraq. At this time we remember the hundreds of thousands of those who have died in the region as a result of that catastrophic war. We also remember the millions more who have been made refugees or left with life changing injuries.

On our website, you can view a gallery of images from the massive anti-war demonstration in February 2003. You can also read CND General Secretary Kate Hudson's reflection on the protest that preceded the invasion.?
