As PN went to press, the Public Interest Case Against Trident (PICAT) project was well on its way to raising £10,000 towards the cost of taking out a judicial review.
PICAT has been trying to start a prosecution of the prime minister and the defence secretary for conspiracy to commit war crimes, through Britain’s nuclear weapons policy. (See PN 2612 – 2613.)
They now want to a judicial review of the attorney general’s refusal to allow this case to go ahead.
As of 12 February, they’d raised £6,312. with 25 days to go: www.tinyurl.com/peacenews3005
