这群共10名活动人士从周一早上约6点45分起封锁了萨福克郡皇家空军莱肯希思基地的大门。
The group of 10 activists blocked the main gates to RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk from about 6.45am on Monday.
他们呼吁政府停止让美军使用英国的基地，停止支持“非法战争”，并将美国核武器从英国领土上撤走。
They called on the Government to stop American forces using bases in the UK, end support for “illegal wars” and remove US nuclear weapons from British soil.
皇家空军莱肯希思基地是美国空军在英国运营的最大军事基地，也是欧洲最大的军事基地之一。
RAF Lakenheath is the biggest military base in the UK operated by the US air force, and one of the largest in Europe.
该基地驻扎着美国在欧洲最大的战斗机联队——第48战斗机联队，又称自由女神像联队，下辖多个装备可携带核武器的F-15E“攻击鹰”和F-35A“闪电II”战斗机的中队。
It hosts the largest US fighter wing in Europe – the 48th Fighter Wing, also known as the Statue of Liberty Wing – which includes squadrons of nuclear-capable F-15E Strike Eagle and F-35A Lightning II fighters.
今年4月，13人因在那里举行类似的、长达六小时的封锁活动而被捕。
In April, 13 people were arrested for staging a similar, six-hour blockade there.
英国皇家空军莱肯希思基地被用于美国在中东的军事行动。在周一上午的抗议活动上，32岁的前士兵本·泰勒说：“英国政府必须停止屈服于美国的霸凌。一味屈服，受苦的是英国民众，尤其是最贫困和最弱势的人群。”
RAF Lakenheath is used for US operations in the Middle East Speaking at Monday morning’s protest, Ben Taylor, 32, a former soldier, said: “The UK Government needs to stop giving in to the bullying of the US. By giving in, UK citizens suffer, especially the poorest and those most at risk.”
68岁的卡罗琳·格伦特是犹太人，也是波兰大屠杀幸存者的女儿。她说：“非法战争仍在继续，种族灭绝仍在继续。在我父亲遭受了那些苦难之后，我必须参与任何形式的非暴力行动，以阻止我们的政府用纳税人的钱去援助和纵容非法战争与种族灭绝。”
Carolyn Gelenter, 68, who is Jewish and the daughter of a Polish Holocaust survivor, said: “The illegal wars continue, the genocide continues. After what my father suffered, I am compelled to participate in whatever form of non-violent action it takes to stop our government from using taxpayers’ money to aid and abet illegal war and genocide.”
人权律师玛格丽特·欧文说：“94岁的年纪，这对我来说是一个绝佳的机会，能参与一次‘锁身’抗议——我以前从未听说过这种方式——并站出来反对那些正在摧毁数百万人生命的战争机器。”英国国防部此前表示，已授权美国使用英国军事基地执行特定的防御任务，以摧毁伊朗的导弹能力。
Margaret Owen, a human rights lawyer, said: “At the age of 94 this is a wonderful opportunity for me to take part in a lock-on, which I’d never heard of before, and to stand against the war machines that are destroying millions of lives.”The Ministry of Defence previously said the US had been authorised to use British military bases for specific defensive missions to destroy Iran’s missile capabilities.
一名发言人表示，伊朗一直在“威胁英国民众、基地以及我们在该地区的伙伴”。
A spokesman said Iran had been “threatening British people, bases, and our partners in the region”.
针对4月份的抗议活动，莱肯希思基地的美国空军表示，他们尊重人们“参与和平、合法的言论与表达自由”的权利，但安全是他们的“首要任务”。
Responding to the protest in April, the US air force at Lakenheath said it respected people’s right to “engage in peaceful and lawful freedom of speech and expression” but security was its “top priority”.
一名发言人说：“我们与英国警务伙伴密切协调，监控在英国皇家空军莱肯希思基地外举行的示威活动。”萨福克郡警方对4月抗议活动中的七名抗议者提出了指控。记者已就最新的示威活动联系该警队请求置评。
A spokesman said: “We coordinate closely with our UK policing partners to monitor demonstrations taking place outside of RAF Lakenheath.”Suffolk police charged seven of the protesters from April. The force has been approached for comment on the latest demonstration.
