LOS ANGELES, November 19, 2006 - Six UC students and three community members were forcefully dragged from the UC Regents board meeting on Thursday by police after they informed the Regents that they would not allow the board to convene its DOE lab oversight committee, the Regents’ body in charge of UC’s nuclear weapons research, design, and manufacturing labs in Los Alamos, New Mexico and Livermore, California. The civil disobedience action was conducted by The Coalition to Demilitarize, a group of students and community activists who seek to end the University of California’s participation in the production of nuclear weapons.
