No War on Iraq - No Missile Defence
- From 12pm at the main gate, Menwith Hill,
Saturday March 22nd 2003 -
A day of peaceful creative direct action, music, speakers and a tour at US military base Menwith Hill, Yorkshire.
See below for transport details from across Northern England
Organised by NOW, supported by CND and CAAB Menwith Hill plays a crucial role in war on Iraq. As the largest electronic monitoring station in the world it picks up communications from satellites covering the Middle East - it even won an award for its eavesdropping in the last Gulf War. It is the 'brains' of any attack on Iraq. Menwith is also a key base for the project of long-term military aggression - 'Star Wars'. Going by current war plans, this demo looks like it could take place during a war on
Iraq. A mass presence at this heart of war operations could genuinely disrupt the war effort! NO BASIS FOR WAR - NO BASES FOR WAR
