Seven individuals were arrested at United Kingdom===RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk during peace protests against the Iran war. The arrests were made on suspicion of supporting Palestine Action, a group whose proscription was ruled unlawful by the High Court but remains in place pending a United Kingdom===Home Office appeal. Protesters, organized by Lakenheath Alliance For Peace, are demonstrating against the alleged use of the base by the United States===United States Air Force for operations in Iran, following reports that a US fighter jet shot down in Iran had taken off from Lakenheath. Two other individuals were charged with wilful obstruction of a highway in connection with a blockade at the base. The protests are part of a six-day peace camp.
