RAF Lakenheath, Suffolk, shut down by protesters at both gates

 

RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk has seen its operations shut down this morning (Tuesday, 7 April) by a group of grassroots activists:

Entrances to the military base have been blocked by two groups since 6am this morning: one creating a hard picket across the road leading to a six-lane entrance to the site, and the other taking part in a lock-on, shutting down operations at the base:

The activists seek to raise awareness of the UK’s complicity in the illegal warfare, and demand that the UK government immediately prohibits the use of UK bases by the US. This action follows a week of peaceful protest at the site with round-the-clock vigils, culminating in the “Give Peace a Chance Big Blockade” on Saturday 4 April, where hundreds of protesters gathered to stand against this use of British territory by the US.
