Target X - an IPPNW Student Project

Target Faslane- October 1st, 2007

As part of the Overriding Trident Tour from Dover to London, a group of 15 students from all overt the world came to Faslane, the site of Britain's nuclear submarines. This small naval base, located a few miles west of Glasgow is the place where two of Britain's four Vanguard submarines are moored, while the other two patrol the world's oceans. The base had been blockaded by various groups for a whole year. Faslane 365 was one of the most successful blockades ever - every single day, workers at the base were met by peaceful innovative protests, featuring peace groups, students, lawyers, physicians and many other parts of society.
