CAAB staged a peaceful roof-top
demonstration for nearly 4 hours holding the US flag with STOP STAR
WARS on at the American base at JAC Molesworth. The
demonstration was to witness and protest at the possible involvement
of this base with the American Missile Defense programme.
Lindis Percy was theatened with arrest under section 68 and 69 of
the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act if she did not come
down from the roof. After careful negotiations with the
Ministry of Defence police Lindis decided to come off the roof
of a building. She was not arrested. She was however
again warned under s 69 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act
by the Ministry of Defence police. The fire crew on base had
been called and were on standby. However their services were
not required.
