 | | Four MSPs - including Frances Curran and Rosie Kane - were amongst those arrested, joining the radical mixture of old and young, religious and secular who had accepted the risk of arrest to drive home the unifying abhorrence of Trident and all weapons of mass destruction. |
 | | In a blockade of the Faslane naval base on the River Clyde, near Glasgow, organised by Trident Ploughshares and Scottish Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament on August 23, police arrested 63 protesters for attempting to prevent staff from entering the base, by lying in the road or chaining themselves to the gates. |
 | | According to BBC News on August 23, protesters at the blockade had come from as far afield as Australia, the USA, Sweden, Finland, Belgium, Germany, Spain, and Ireland. |
