SAY NO TO NUCLEAR WAR THREATS!

“Europe is engulfed in a deadly war. Many countries are increasing their military spending in the light of this and other perceived threats to peace. The nine nuclear weapon states, including Britain, are all increasing their nuclear stockpiles. Other countries may well also acquire such weapons.

This summer there will be a wave of protests against nuclear weapons at the time of the anniversaries of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. Campaigners from France and Germany are taking part in the annual Hiroshima-Nagasaki international Fast against nuclear weapons which is being held in Bristol from 6th-9th August.

On their way there they are stopping off to join protests in London on the 4th and 5th of August. On the 4th they will take part with British anti-nuclear activists in an "Embassy Walk" taking in the Russian, French and German Embassies and Downing Street calling on the four countries to sign the UN Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and get rid of their own ones. There will also be leafleting of the general public at each place and statements handed in. Join us!”
