Missile Defence Update
Yorkshire CND are supporting the actions of Czech campaigners who have been opposing plans to develop a US Missile Defence base in the Czech Republic. The Czech government seem set to press ahead with the US' proposals, despite over two thirds of public opposition to the base in the country.
Jan Tamas and Jan Bednar have recently come to the end of a 22 day hunger strike by launching a chain hunger strike to enable others to continue the protest.
Supported by politicians, celebrities and activists across the Czech Republic and the rest of the world the campaigners are actively building support for a one-day world hunger strike on June 22nd to protest against the deadly US Missile Defence programme.
Yorkshire CND Convenor Professor Dave Webb will be joining the hunger strike on June 22nd with other national figures in the British peace movement.
