Lakenheath - April '25 charges dropped

Posted: 20th February 2026

Seven people who were arrested after attending an anti-nuclear weapons

protest at a Suffolk airbase have had the charges dropped. The protesters,
whose ages ranged from 45 to 77, were arrested at RAF Lakenheath in April
last year following a three-hour demonstration. Around 250 supporters of
Lakenheath Peace Alliance and Campaign For Nuclear Disarmament (CND) met at
RAF Lakenheath at noon on April 26 2025. Speaking at the time, general
secretary of CND Sophie Bolt said that this was to protest what they
describe as a “lack of transparency on nuclear weapons being held in the
UK”. The protest was organised by Lakenheath Alliance for Peace and was
attended by members of Extinction Rebellion, the Quakers and local CND and
Stop the War Coalition groups from Norwich and Cambridge.
