Atlanta, May 7 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of Georgia, a federal court has filed an indictment against seven Catholic Plowshares activists who were arrested for protesting last month at Kings Bay Naval Base -- the largest nuclear submarine base in the world.
The activists entered the base on the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s assassination, April 4th. They were armed with just hammers, crime tape and baby bottles containing their own blood. The activists said they were following the prophet Isaiah’s command to “beat swords into plowshares.”
In a statement from Georgia’s Camden County Jail, Plowshares activist Clare Grady wrote:“We say, 'the ultimate logic of Trident is omnicide,' and yet, the explosive power of this weapon is only part of what we want to make visible. We see that nuclear weapons kill every day by their mere existence. We see the billions of dollars it takes to build and maintain the Trident system as stolen resources, which are desperately needed for human needs.”
