Abolition 2000 is a worldwide network working for a global treaty to eliminate nuclear weapons.

BISCAROSSE, France, Sept 23, 2006 (AFP) - More than 1,000 French anti-nuclear protestors demonstrated at a military centre in western France on Saturday at their country's plans to test a new M51 ballistic missile.
The demonstrators, dressed as yellow missiles, stated that plans to test it at the centre near Biscarosse in the Bay of Biscay were in stark contradiction with France's role in pressuring Iran over its nuclear programme.
39 activists from England, Scotland, Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Germany, managed to gain access to the base in order to carry out an inspection of the base.
