Suffolk, England: Stop US nukes coming to Lakenheath! - CND
Start: Saturday, May 21, 2022• 1:00 PM
Stop
the return of
US nukes to
Britain!
Last
week, it was
reported
that the
UK was quietly
added to a US
Department of
Defense list
of NATO
nuclear weapon
storage
locations in
Europe
earmarked for
upgrade.
It's believed
that the
location in
question is
the US Air
Force base at
RAF Lakenheath
in Suffolk -
located just
70 miles from
London.
110 nuclear warheads were stored at RAF Lakenheath until they were removed in 2008 following persistent popular protest. It remains unclear if these free-fall B61 gravity bombs have already returned to Britain, but their reintroduction must be opposed! If allowed, the UK will become the sixth European NATO member to host US nuclear weapons.
CND is calling on all supporters to mobilise for a national demonstration at RAF Lakenheath to say no to US nukes!
