G10 Bomber Watch moved by Americans

Acting totally outside of their juristiction Americans from USAF Fairford illegally forced the G10 Bomber Watch to move camp whilst police stood by. This follows hard on the heels of escalating harrassment of protesters including stop and search powers under section 44 of the Terrorism Act 2000. This is the first time this power has ever been used and is clearly being used to deter our legal right to protest. Also dubious arrests last night and release, without charge or caution, or two people at 4am in Stroud around 20 miles from the camp. Full article in indymedia: US Soldiers Move Fairford Peace Camp

Here's the peace camp on 8 March with gate 10 and protesters off in the background:

3.30pm (11 Mar) - American base personnel forcing the camp to move by building a fence through it.

4pm (11 Mar) 1 hour after Americans from the base started to uild a fence through it. Support was scambled to help rescue all the belongings and sort out the camp which is now functioning again.
