Guadalupe (CA) Catholic Worker Dennis Apel and Fr. Steve Kelly, S.J. were arrested outside
the main gate of Vandenberg AFB on August 9, commemorating the 63 anniversary of the bombing of Nagasaki (Photos attached). At our annual Hiroshima/Nagasaki day commemoration vigil, Dennis and Fr.
Steve were arrested for violation of their “Ban and Bar” letter that they received for the May 19, 2007 witness and arrest, which prohibits their presence on or near the base for life.
Mike Wisniewski (LACW) also was given a warning to leave or face arrest for violating his “Ban and Bar”, but he chose to leave the vigil area. Dennis, Fr. Steve, Mike, and Jeff Dietrich from the LACW,
face another hearing on Sept. 18 for the May 19, 2007 action.
