BASE-OFF
Two protesters against US ‘Star Wars’ military bases in the Czech Republic are entering the third week of their hunger strike.
The two – Jan Tamas and Jan Bednar, are part of the Humanist Movement, a non-violent campaign against the building of US bases in the country. The statement from the hunger strikers – which began on May 13th in Prague – calls for the Govt heed the strong public opinion against the bases, and echoes what protesters said during recent actions against US bases in Poland (See SchNEWS 627) - that they got rid of one occupying army in the early nineties and they don’t want another one now.
