Despite strict security measures, early on Monday, seven people managed to cut through a perimeter at the US air base in Buechel in the German state of Rhineland-Pfalz to protest against nuclear weapons, which the activists claim are deployed at the military site, Bundeswehr, the German military, said.
The activists were stopped by servicemen patrolling the base after entering the security zone and then handed over to the police.
Prior to that, the anti-nuclear activists had held a spontaneous protest in front of the base's main gate, which was dispersed by police.
