Target X - an IPPNW Student Project

Target Canterbury - September 29th, 2007

As part of the Overriding Trident Tour from Dover to London, a group of 31 cyclists from all over the world passed through the historic city of Canterbury on their bikes and used this great chance to distribute their leaflets, inform the public about the health effects of nuclear weapons and the direct implications of the renewal of the British Trident nuclear weapons program. Meeting with hundreds of British citizens, the OTT cyclists gave them a chance to make their voice heard and send postcards to their MPs, whcih the cyclists would hand-deliver in the coming week. For more information on the OTT, check out the following website at:
