Barrow Citizens' Inspectors released without charge

At noon on Thursday 19th November, the last of the Swedish Citizens'
Inspectors was released from Barrow police station. A total of three
Swedes, one American and three British people were arrested the previous
day - along with two Swedish journalists - attempting to enter the VSEL
Barrow shipyard to inspect for weapons of mass destruction (ie Trident
submarine HMS Vengeance).

All seven have been released without charge. Two of the Swedish activists
immediately headed to HM Prison Risley to visit imprisoned "Bread not Bombs
Plowshares" activists Annika Spalde and Ann-Britt Sternfeldt.
