Quakers were among an eight-strong group of protesters who blocked a main entrance into the Atomics Weapons Establishment (AWE) in Burghfield, Berkshire, on Monday 19 May.  The group sat down in the gateway at 7.20am and chained themselves together. Other protestors stood alongside them, offering support and liaising with police, site staff and the public.
