Aberdeen Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament have organised a commeration to mark the 64th anniversary of the first use of atomic weapons which resulted in the deaths of 200,000 people in Horishima and Nagasaki.

Aberdeen CND invites you to mark the 65th anniversary of the first use of atomic weapons. In August 1945 the US dropped 2 atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We will release 200 peace lanterns on the River Dee to commemorate the 200,000 men, women and children who were incinerated.There will also be short contributions from persons representing Student organisations, Trade Unions, Faith Groups and Political leaders.

CND believes that to prevent any future mass destruction of human population the Government should:

a. Scrap the Trident nuclear system.
