Ciaron O'Reilly speaks before arrest at Northwood HQ

After compromising perimeter security at Northwood HQ/ London (command centre for all British forces deployed abroad), Ciaron O'Reilly reads the 'Statement of Faith' of the Feast of Innocents 2010 action. O'Reilly is wearing a photograph of Bradley Manning presently detained in military prison in the United States accused of the WikiLeaks release of footage of a U.S. helicopter gunship massacre of unarmed journalists, civilians and children in Iraq. The speech is made as the front gate to the base is blockaded by 6 other Catholic Workers. 20 more anti-war activists have gathered at the entrance to read the names of British and Afghani war dead. The speech is made just before O'Reilly is detained by the military and handed over to the police.

Thank you from an American for honoring Bradley Manning's courageous actions. I'm sure he will be moved and proud to find out how many brothers and sisters in spirit he has "on the outside." He is keeping the faith.
