A 78-YEAR-OLD peace campaigner was arrested for the second week running on Tuesday night while taking part in a regular peaceful protest outside a US military base in Yorkshire.

Retired nurse Lindis Percy was outside RAF Menwith Hill, currently administered by US forces, on moorland outside Harrogate in North Yorkshire, during a weekly vigil with other peace campaigners.

She was one of nine outside the base, which is an intelligence-gathering centre linked to satellites gathering military, political and economic information fed back to the Pentagon.
