Predictions of mass non-violent demonstrations were made by the anti-nuclear activist Kalhan Barath as the Campaign against the siting of Cruise missiles in Britain becomes the key political issue. "There's going to be mass civil disobedience.- she told LUU nuclear disarmament group, "We have to be willing to go to prison. More and more people are going to prison. They can't hold 10,000 or 20.000 demonstrators." Kalhan, a member of Women Opposed to the Nuclear Threat, spoke of the way the movement was organising itself to train women to cope with harassment and arrest in a non- violent way. Training involves role-playing, while peace demonstrators are taught how to calm police at a demonstra- tion. "If you can keep them talking 15 minutes you have gained 15 minutes, and you are in control" said Kalhan_ She added that members were formed into "affinity groups-, each con- taining a woman trained in legal issues who take note of details should an incident occur, which may lead to arrest. Effective mass protest was seen in Greenham Common last December when women demonstrated outside the gates of the US air force base. Kalhan saw Greenham Common as a chance for women to speak up, and to use their rights of protest. "It was our chance to get out there. All over the country more and more women are joining CND because of Greenham Common." •Above: The human PENNY JACKSON chain. Left: The protest Cheque.
