Activists to march against militarisation of space at USAF Croughton
[The New York Public Library]

CAMPAIGNERS will hold a national demonstration against the increasing militarisation of space on Saturday during “Keep Space for Peace” week.

The national march, called by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), will take place outside RAF Croughton, which is run by the United States Air Force (USAF), in Northamptonshire. 

The US communication and intelligence base — one of the largest international military intelligence hubs — supports many US military sites in Europe, and is involved in worldwide war operations, CND says.
