Future Sheffield PSC events:
The Vanunu Freedom ride will be coming to Sheffield on Saturday April 14th 2007!
For telling the world that Israel had nuclear weapons, Mordechai Vanunu spent 18 years in prison, 11 of these in complete solitary confinement. Although released in 2004, he remains subject to stringent restrictions and is unable to leave East Jerusalem or communicate with journalists or foreigners.
The ride demands complete freedom for Vanunu, for his vision of a nuclear free Middle East to be fulfilled and for an end to nuclear weapons world wide. The Freedom ride also supports, as Vanunu does, freedom and justice for the Palestininian people.
2007 Vanunu Freedom Ride:
The ride will begin at Faslane Nuclear base (near Glasglow) on Saturday 7th April and arrive in London on 21st April, where a letter demanding Vanunu's freedom will be handed in at the Israeli Embassy.
Sheffield Freedom ride events
The ride will cycle from Leeds to Sheffield on Saturday 14th April, arriving in the city centre sometime during the afternoon to a welcome rally. Sheffield cyclists are invited to join the ride on its route from Leeds, and cycle with the riders down into Sheffield. The provisonal route is via Wakefield and Barnsley, following fairly closely the Trans Penine trail route (but maybe using nearby roads rather than the off route route for much of the way). We will post the confirmed route up before the ride starts so that cyclists can join us along the way.
On Saturday evening a Freedom Social will be held (provisonal venue: St Matthews rooms, Carver St, Sheffield city centre) where there will be food, a film showing about Israel's nuclear weapons and a chance to find out more about the campaign.
On Monday 16th April the cyclists will set off from Sheffield city centre en route to Nottingham. Sheffield cyclists are welcome to join the ride on its way to Nottingham.
Sheffield to Nottingham route: Monday 16th April: We will leave from Sheffield city centre, cycle out to Baslow, through the Chatsworth estate and then down the A6 through Matlock and Matlock Bath. We hope to stop for lunch just outside Cromford, and then carry on down the A6 to Belper - route into Nottingham not yet confirmed.
