They cut the mustard

News in Brief

On 12 February, three French citizen weapons inspectors went on trial in Dijon.

Jacques Bourgoin, Jean-Marc Convers from Friends of the Earth and Étienne Godinot from the Movement for a Non-violent Alternative were arrested on 9 July 2020 for trespassing in the French equivalent of Aldermaston – the CEA Valduc nuclear bomb factory near Dijon in eastern France.

The three were holding a banner calling for the conversion of the Valduc site to peaceful purposes.

Monthly ‘citizen watch’ demonstrations continue in Dijon or at Valduc.
