9 Activists Arrested at Wisconsin Military Base
-----------------------------------------------



In Wisconsin, nine peace activists were arrested this week at the US
military base Mount Mc Coy. The activists had completed a three-day walk
to protest the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan and the US nuclear
stockpile on the sixty-fourth anniversary of the atomic bombings of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The activists are expected to stand trial on
federal trespass charges.
