A small group of campaigners, among them a member of the IC, are fasting publicly in the cloisters of Iona Abbey as a part of the International Fast for Nuclear Disarmament from the time the first nuclear bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on Tuesday, 6 August until the time the second was exploded over Nagasaki on Friday 9 August, engaging in conversations with visitors to the Abbey and campaigning for nuclear disarmament worldwide.

International Fast
remembering the people of Hiroshima and Nagasake, victims of the atomic bombs in 1945
Never again
No Trident Renewal
Wednesday afternoon saw an encounter with a woman who after a conversation revealed that she came from the city of Nagasaki; no need to say that she was very happy to find people who knew about the terrible event and were actively campaigning to prevent it ever happening again.
Peace.
