Extract from an interview with Angie Zelter founder of Trident Ploughshares and co-founder of the International Woman’s Peace Service recorded December 4, 2010 in Seattle.
In 1996 she was part of a group that disarmed a BAE Hawk Jet, ZH955, causing £1.5million damage and preventing it from being exported to Indonesia where it would have been used to attack East Timor. She was acquitted for this action in a victory which forced the issue of arms control onto the mainstream agenda.
