ROSIE KANE SENTENCED TO SERVE COMMUNITY
Rosie Kane was today fined £150 for her stand against Britain’s Weapons of Mass Destruction at Helensburgh District Court.
Rosie explained to the Sheriff that she had previously paid fines in respect to non-violent direct action at Faslane out of concern for her daughters but now that they were older, she was going to take a stand and not pay the fine.
Justice of the Peace Vivien Dance said that a 20 hours supervised attendance order would be used as an alternative to prison.
Rosie said after her court appearance;
“I’ll be back at Faslane to protest at the Weapons of Mass Destruction Britain keeps in Scotland.
“I’ll look forward to serving the community and suggest that it would do all the MSP’s good to join me.”
